Day two was another blow day. No fishing. Day three was a small craft advisory plus wet & cold. We were limited as to where we could fish but we made the best of it. Total count for the day was 35 smallies. We had five over 5lbs & one 6lber. The bass were tight to the bottom. We caught all the fish on blade baits in 5-15 fow.

Some good brown ones sir!!

The Wind and Mighty Dwight Howl!

 

The wind howls

The waves heave

The masses flee

But Dwight won't leave.

 

He bounces like

A rubber ball

His bum goes up

And then it falls.

 

The mighty bass

Must ever eat

They see the flash

A tasty treat?

 

Some weight, 

A strike,

The set,

The fight!

 

Dwight might live

With largemouth now

But it's smallmouths that

Make him howl!

My goodness, we have a poetess!

Great fish!

 

 

 

                                                   

Day two sound rough, but nice job on day three despite conditions! 35 smallies is great, and those 5lbers & 6lber are real nice catches. Were the blade baits a specific color or brand that work better for you in these conditions?

Most blade baits are silver or gold in color but there are some painted ones. I use several different brands but they are all highly similar except for hardware meaning hooks & split rings. The brands that don’t use split rings I avoid otherwise I have to add the rings so I can change out hooks as needed. Gold works better in dirty water & silver in clean water.
