Finally got out on the water when Keri and I hit Potholes this weekend. Found water temps around 53 in Linde Coulee and 56 in the dunes.
Didn't find any largemouth action, but then again, I was primarily scouting and fishing new areas for me. Water level is about 2 feet below the levels during last year's tourny.
The smallies were cooperative, with the largest being 3 lb 2 oz on a crankbait. Had 2-pounder just whallop my crank like a freight train. I needed the pliers to unhook him.
Keri landed her first smallmouth ever - a respectable 11-incher on a Yammi 176 spider jig. She had a bigger one to the boat, but it came unbuttoned.
All the smallies had big guts just ready to burst.
Weather was in the mid-60's and sunny on Sat with no wind. Sunny on Sunday, but the wind and whitcaps blew us off the lake in a hurry.
Looking forward to our tournament there!!

Phew! At last the skunk went away!! (hopefully for the rest of the year). I backseated with Daryl Snodgrass and we met Russ Baker and Mark Wells out on the water. Daryl and I launched from Blythe Launch at first light and ran down to Lind Coulee (ouch! a bit rough and windy) various spots were fished with no success and at about 9am Russ and Mark showed up (part-timers huh?). Within about 45 minutes or so Russ had First Fish - a 3lb 13oz smallie, and then the fun began (don't remember all the exact weights, weights given are somewhere near):
Daryl - 3lb 9oz Smallie, 2lb 12oz Smallie
Russ - 4 Smallies from about 2lb 8oz
Me - 4lb 5oz, and 2lb 8oz-ish Largemouth
Mark - I think he caught my skunk, sorry for passing it on Mark!
As I remember it, they were all caught in 4-12ft of water using several techniques including Dropshot, flipping tubes, Wild Thangs, football jigs, Carolina rigs.
We ran all over the place and burned 16 gallons of gas, I fished a few spots I had only ever heard of.
Many thanks to Daryl, Russ and Mark - the day lifted my spirits considerably since the news about my boat last week.
seeya on the water............
