Well im off to the river tomorrow. Air temp should reach about 55degrees. Water Temps, lets just say COLD..  Any way loaded my box up with some Tubes, Small Hair Jigs, a Cpl smaller cranks. anything else you think I should throw in? Any tips on how to fish em except SLOW n STEADY?

Hey St C they are catching sauger and small walleye at Pike Island dam most of them are using a twist tail grub on a jig. Where are you heading?

Day one, we launched from shady side hit up a few usual spots and warm water spouts where water temp was around 53Degrees pulled in 4 smallies all day.

Day 2 went above the d**n and hit a hole of smallies in about 8 ft under some heavy rock cover in about 44degree water. Caught about 5 a piece out of that hole in about 2 hours and moved 2 a few other spots without any luck. I would of had pics but my phone took a nice dive into the water on day 1.

With the winds today well yesterday the water was so choppy and putting out about 3 ft waves.

Overall fun trip cant wait for the Wednesday night tourneys to start and

Sounds like you did very well without anyone's advice. I assume on the second day you put in at Rayland? That area is surprisingly good for smallmouth. My choice would have been from Powhaton south with all of those big creeks to fish near and you have the power plants also. I am not second guessing you , you did just fine where you were.

y es we did very well  and im  going to be taking lots of vids. I mounted 2 cameras holders on the boat and plan on getting atleast 1 camera. I think ill be fishing the stc club with my partner and possibly powhaton club ran by max cook.
