With river levels being so low, I have had to get creative to fill my smallie fix. I tried fishing from shore at River Bend last week and caught 2 about 11-12 inches, but fat on a ned. My Highlander is in the shop, so I figured I would try that again today. I got there about 9:00am.
I decided to try a really small topwater popper first. I Cast it behind some rocks and let the current slowly take it, giving small pops every once in a while. As it got to the very back of the eddy, it got slurped. I set the hook and it felt pretty heavy. After a nice fight, I dragged it up the shore
I did not have a measuring tape, so I held it against my rod. It came to the end of the writing on the rod, from the butt. I just checked that measurement, and it was 19.25". It felt heavy and had that boney mouth the bigger ones get. I fished until about 11:30am and got no more bites. Beautiful morning and a surprise topwater fish in November!
