Went out with the kayak for a few hours today landed 5 small mouth and 1 little bitty northern pike. 4 out of the 5 smallmouth came from "trolling" a rebel craw crank well paddling to my spot. The other came off the white booyah iv been getting everything on that poor spinner bait is so beat up lol. Water temp was 54 which was warmer then the air today. Had a bunch of hits but didn't connect with the spinnerbait same with a jika rig and rage craw think they may have been a bit big cause a lot of te smaller smallies are moved up now but I did get two that were in the 3.5-4.0 range.

I also seen 2 baby beavers playing which was cool then momma came out and didn't like me so close and gave the water a smack I gave her the finger and kept fishing haha. Also had a lone swan that was new to the area first time seeing one in this spot.

Ah and pics here ya go

Black spots on this one never seen it on a SMB only LMB

Looks like some good fishing congrats

I love the detailed pictures. Good job!

Nice smallies!  Saw a couple baby beavers myself yesterday.  It was pretty cool.

Forgot this guy he had like cuts all over its body not to bad but some were open gashes you can see it a little in the pics where it's looks beat up. Wonder what had ahold of it or what caused it.

Nice Small mouths. Never caught one before. Heard they were good fighting fish.

Great fish Clayton...

That kayak is by far the best thing I have ever bought fishing wise. So many spots I can fish now like where I am getting these small mouth and trout. To shallow to get to by boat and in the middle of the woods all posted up along the banks. It's a hole that's 10' deep in a creek that averages maybe 2' in most accessible spots. It's my new favorite spot.

Looks like maybe a pike had him and was trying to position him to swallow and it got away or maybe it gave up because the bass was too big?

 

I caught a smallmouth a few weeks ago that had a line almost right down the middle of it's head and one side of it's face was black the other was brown, never seen anything like it.

Possible there are some big pike in these waters. The other side was almost identicle.

Nice fish Clayton. Hope the Revo is treating you well.
