Working for smallies with plastics; rainbows and whatever else with worms. Went out with two sons and a non-fishing friend. The non-fishing friend now fishes. Started out at Edgewater campground and hooked into a couple of dinky perch. Then one son got a decent largemouth around a downed tree. I did hook into and landed two nice rainbows 14" & 15". Everyone else did tangle with a few dinky smallmouths throwing them back to grow.

Next stop was up a little north to the next dam outlet. Nothing to show, we did hook into some dink smallmouths and had a couple of good strikes, but that was it. Then we went north about a half of a mile and had fun. A few strikes on the worms but nothing to show for it. We then shifted to rooster tails and plastics and landed a bunch of smallies. We released most of them but kept a few for consumption (yum!).

My day's best was a 18" smallie that about tore the rod from my hand and tested my drag on the reel. Put up a nice fight and got my ticker pumping! This one bit on a brown crawfish plastic rigged as a jig.

The rest of the day was anticlimactic. We hit a couple of small lakes and just wet our lines.

We all had a blast!
