Hey Guys,

Fishizzle and I went out on opening day to our favorite lake for some smallmouth fishing from 7:30 am to about 2 pm. Overall, we caught 12-14 bass (about five were mine), half largemouth, half smallmouth, I caught two trout by accident, and he caught a big crappie.

The two big fish of the day were fishizzle's 3.9 and 3.4 lb largemouths. No smallies over two pounds, and the rainbow was a beautiful, healthy fish.

We caught most fish on size 10 X-Raps. I was using white with a pink back, he was using white with an olive back. I caught the two trout on a Redeye Shad.

Water temp was 52-53, and the wind really picked up in the afternoon. Most fish were caught in less than 8 FOW. Overall, a pretty good day, but not as great as I was hoping. It seemed like we never really found a group of fish, but just picked them off at intervals. The afternoon was especially slow.

Enjoy the pics :-)

My first smallie of the year:

Oh yeah, this guy ^ carried our team  

We had an informal competition against two other guys out there and basically packed them in our pipes and smoked them.

Nice mixed bag!
