Today I found a new spot. It was a great spot. I started out making my way down some creek that was so low  I think it was only about 5 inches all the way across. So I decided to keep right on walkin until I found a nice pool of water and figured the fish must be held up in there. I was right I think I pulled one out every cast for at least 4 casts in a row. It  was a blast and then Matt and I got a double header. and they were both nice fish. MINE WAS BIGGER!  

We continued down the creek until finally it dumped out into the river and saw a great spot to perch myself at. Finally I made it over there and the currant was strong and the water was quite a bit deeper. I then decided I was just gonna lean over a little bit and drop my magic stik straight down in the water, which by the way Matt thought was quite funny that is until I had a hit and it started taking my drag right away. BAM! It was a nice smallie..

Well after that I continued to stand in that spot and just drop my line off the side for a little while and managed to catch a few more fish. It was a blast!

Here are a few more pics:

I am not sure how many fish we caught today but it  was  quite a few of them. We did not have that long to fish but turns out we did not need alot of time to catch alot of fish. The temps were considerably cooler today.. When we first arrived at the creek to start out the day it was raining just a little. I am not sure what baits matt was using but as usual I was using the magic stiks and the hawg sauce.

I'm jealous,...OF MATT AND THE FISH!! lol

Great reportback!  What is written on that paper you are holding?  What state are you guys in?

WOW!Must have been a blast!Way to go!Those are some beautiful smallmouth.

BTW,what is the peice of paper you are holding up?

Thanks guys. I am new to fishing the river for smallies. I took my first trip with a river guide in August to learn how to fish the river. I was having a very difficult time learning how to fish the current and let me tell you it was the best thing I ever did. It was also loads of fun and we caught lots of fish. Beteween the 3 of us we managed 113 fish. It was awesome and also the first time that I have ever caught a smallmouth. Now I am hopelessly addicted. What a fight they put up.

I am from Pennsylvania. The piece of paper is just for a little fishing contest that I am in.

The spot that I found today was very cool but has water comming in from different directions. I actually fished a creek down until it ran into the river and the water was deep in spots also the currant was strong. To be honest I was confused as to where to start really. I was actually on an old railroad pier that I had waded out to climb onto to fish. It had water comming from all angles. I was way out of my element here.   I hope to get back again soon. I am not accustomed to the deep water and strong current yet and with water comming in from all sides I was not sure what was the best spot to shoot for. I did pretty well today though. Looking forward to going back.

I wish there were smallmouth bass in san diego. Looks like you had an amazing fishing trip.

Nice fish!

Depending on how far from the NY state line you are you will have to come try out Catt Creek (about 30 miles south of Buffalo and about an hour from the state line). We have some nice smallies up here. Not just in Erie but any of the creeks that dump into Erie will produce some nice smallies.

Looks like a fun trip.

sweet fishing spot. Thanks for the report.

Outstanding post!

Now that you have found the brown fish, green one's just aren't going to cut it anymore.

Nice report! I have yet to catch a smallie, I'm still trying to figure out the largemouth!
