smallieking

sure because creek fishing is just about the same as river fishing what is your favorite creek bait moby?

o thats awesome

u do good on the strike king series 1? i tryed that crank a few times on a few rivers but never any success

yea i fish around the junita trading post alot too my favorite spot is definety down at tatesville though

o yea i always have a jig handy but i dont fish during the winter since there is 15 inches of ice on all the water which sucks well as soon as ice out i plan on fishing a jig in some deep structure i have just located

anything dealing with current so yea large tidal rivers my favorite river bait would be a yum crawbug or baby craw

i thats where i fish in between everett and hopewell around tatesville to be precise but i fish up in bedford alot too

hey gator how is the structure produceing? is it catching fish? and what depths are they

lol yea me too i figure that almost about half of the smallmouth bass fishing topic is all about rivers so i thought it would be cool just to make a thread so we can discuss things here

by downstream u mean just drifting baits?

i just got back from shopping and visiting the lake it is about 5 feet higher they are starting to refill the lake my stumps are covered u can see some of them sticking out of the water alittle but not much i cant wait for it to start getting a little warmer out so that i can go fishing there im not sure if a gps location would be effected by elevation or not hmm

yo fishn just bought a new rod and a bunch of 1 ounce jigs and a varity of trailers hey pittsburgh reeler what part of the three rivers do u fish? i fish the river system once in a while

hey guys whats up PAangler aaa the selection is ok if u are looking for a certain bait its not a great retailer but it gets the job done for tackle used in this area PA what part of the raystown branch you fish?

hey was thinking about this for awhile i thought it would be a good idea to create a thread just dealing with river smallies so we could discuss success, failure, techniques/presentations, ask and answer questions and have fun

im leaving work here in 5 minutes i just printed out a map of the lake from google maps im going to go see the lake and mark some structure hopefully they didnt refill it yet

i have a gps on my bigger boat not on my jon boat that i fish out of on that lake though i can remember where those stumps are its only a few yards of a deep bank yea im going shopping tonight for different stuff including a rod im going to head over to the lake if i have time to check it out again o man another big winter storm hit again last night so me getting on to the lake just got pushed back another few days as well

o ok yea thats actually the rod i was looking at im going to go to gander moutain after work today to go find it if they dont have it ill have to go to dicks thanks

i definetly want to improve my cranking in overcast situations

lol yea im really glad your aloud to fish it unlike 6 or 7 years ago when it was owned by that bass club i went for a ride after work one night about 2 weeks ago when it was drained but idk why i waited so long to make a post about it as soon as ice out im going to go fish around those stumps

well it really depends if i can see that it will be a slow bite i will stick with a bait a pretty long time but if i get to a spot that looks really good i will switch baits just to make sure that i cant catch one on the spot but if i know the bass are biting and im not getting bit i switch quickly depends on my confidence in a bait like if im trying a certain bait for the first time i might not keep it on as long as i should

yea thats the lake i though u knew what i was talking about im too lazy to spell out the big word yea thats what i was doing you know the green bridge on it well the stumps are right beside it kinda and i could spot them while driving over it

k cool yea im going to give it a try its tough to get there with a boat because the lake is pretty good size but is a water supply lake which is why its always being worked on so there can be no gas on it so it is strictly trolling motors no outboards are alot and the field is a 30 to 40 minute trip and i dont like fishing lakes from shore during most of the year just march and maybe april

hey i want a cranking spinning rod that i can use all crankbaits for small or big just for smallmouth anyways but i dont want to spend 100s of dollars maybe 30-60 dollar rod anyone know of a good rod that fits my descrition? thanks

the queen it should be refill pretty soon they drain almost every year

my favorite lake around my area is having the dam to be worked on and the water has been drained 25 feet and should be refilled in the next few weeks WELL HERES MY QUESTION i went to the lake looking for some deep structure and found some well i found some stumps about 30 yards from the one shore and it is about 20-25 feet deep stump field well i was wondering if the bass would be in there during the month of march when i am doing alot of bank fishing? it could be a hot spot just wondering thanks
