Backyard Larrys

[Fred E. Goose]

Stepped out back with a jig/grub and got 5 small largemouth in a half hour.
I got 'em slowly jigging bottom, swimming it back at medium speed, and burning it...they were in attack mode. 2 were about 12 inches and jumping, the other 3 were smaller. Didn't see any big fish swimming, but had a blast in the little bit of time I had.

Damn the boulders in that creek. Looks like a trout gorge.

Nice larrys, no smallmouth in there I guess? Usually streams are majority smallmouth compared to largemouth populations, only exception is when smallmouth have no stocking history + damed off from lower sections of the river that might.

Take the time if you can make the time! Gotta get out and whack something no matter how big or small it is! Good catchin' dude!!!

It gets the stocked rainbows, plus a river that it springs from gets them too and I'm sure a few of those eventually wind up here. Haven't spotted a smallie, perch or pickerel in there. There's a ton of sunfish, largemouth with the occasional Bubba mixed in, crappie, white suckers, and a few carp.
