Got out once last week with pops. We fished a haystack in search of some striped needles....
Didn't connect with the target species but found plenty of action to keep us busy. Highlight of the day was a lopsided double hookup. Smallie could've ate the Larry, lol.
Got out again today on a different resi and the bite was still on. Saw 2 bald eagles hanging out before I ever wet a line knew it would be a good day. Smallies were chasing all day. Caught a few, lost a few.
Nothing over 18" but nothing below 16"..... Got a decent pickerel too! Highlight was the 2 thick 18" smallies. Little bit warmer today but the clouds made it bearable.......
Almost forgot, I also caught one smallie that happened to be "passing" a hook!! Looked pretty bad. Tried to help it along but didn't want to injure the fish so I just snipped off what I could. Good to know a snapped line and lost lure doesn't automatically mean a dead fish though.
