Well We lucked out and kept our streak of 26+ extending to 5 straight days icing a walley over 26 inches with another beautiful 26 inch tank today. Congrats to Brad on this fish!! Man did that fish throw it into reverse at the hole. Front rolls in tonight boys, and you can bet we’ll be out after them. Front…..LOL!! Last year it was 38 below zero when I had Kayles group out. 5 minutes into the trip his dad landed a 29 3/4 inch BEAST!! I think the overall opininon is…..Better fishing than thinking about it!!I’ve drilled them in snowstorms and have stunk it up. I’m pretty optimistic, so I’m going to say we’re gonna HAMMER THEM!! BTW Otter houses and heaters scoff at this whimp “GIRLY” weather!! New location tomorrow, and hopefully Streak will live on!! BTW Capt.John is to my knowledge honest in his reports. He fishes a lot with Paul here on our site, and both are good sticks. Now I don’t particularly care for the endless promotion of plastics, but hey whatever floats your boat. I personally disagree that smallmouth are the ultimate fish. On that note I wish everyone would fish smallies, so I can have all the eyes, pike and Crappies to myself!! My guess would be people likely get tired of me pushing the H20 Precision jigs too, but hey everyone has a go to presentation. Portions of Rainy Lake fish very differently no doubt, and beyond that Shallow water fisherman most of the year targeting Smallies are also focusing on seperate patterns which allows for different plastics to dominate. I for one can destroy fish up shallow casting plastics, but haven’t had the same success deep by any means except on occassions late fall. Just what I’ve seen.
Hey Paul!! Hope you make it up OK!! You gonna try wet a line??
