Wanted to thank everyone who replied to this thread, this weekend I have been doing very well on Big Sandy and have finally put the pieces together and have even caught a few smallmouth doing it!
Are there any specific things I should look for when fishing weeds? They surround almost all the shorelines on the lake, should I look for weeds that are near deep water? Off shore weeds? Weeds on islands?
Thanks guys, definitely going to try fishing weeds a bit more. I know that I have caught a few trolling for pike on weeds and casting jerkbaits on weeds. And last week my brother caught some on a spinnerbait in a weedy bay so going to try some walleye tactics and see if I can’t get a few.
I hate my smile lol. I tested my scale at home on a 5lb weight and it varied from 4.5 to 5.2 but usually went 5. But I forgot to mention we also weighed it on my friends scale which said 4.5. I just have a real hard time believing that it wasn’t over 5. Anyone think the first fish is bigger than the second one?
