Bowfin (Dogfish)
Down south they are called mud fish. They fight great at the beginning making you think you have a quality largemouth until you see them boat side and then they start their death roll similar to a catfish. I personally hate all trash fish that imitate gamefish until you find otherwise.

Great Lake Ice?
I heard from a guy who's job is to track the great lakes condition. He is forecasting this years iceout will be one to two weeks behind last years. Last year there was a warm-up in February. This years average February temps might have set a record for low temps.

For smallmouth I have caught two other bass 7oz & 13oz short of my PB. Largemouth I just recently caught so it could be a while.

Swimbait Jighead And Weighted Hook?
Correct.
-
Swimbait Jighead And Weighted Hook?
A weighted swimbait hook places the weight under the middle of the bait making it fall more horizontal. It also acts as a keel weight to keep the bait from rolling. The weighted jighead places the weight at the nose or front of the bait & it falls head first. Different actions.

Catching Smallies Below The Thermocline
Lake trout will venture below the thermocline to eat. So I would guess smallies might too. But good luck trying to target a predator in the dead zone.

LOL. 16 degrees is still pretty cold but I guess it's all about what you are used to.

That is absolutely the worse piece of advice I have seen in a while. If you don't have permission you can be arrested for trespass. We are absolutely against any form of illegal fishing and will not allow any such threads or posts advocating such activity. All such posts are deleted. In addition, any material or posting that advocates or discusses illegal activities, with or without the intent to commit them, is prohibited. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator
