Decided to fish exclusively for smallmouth yesterday (7/6) and (6/30) at the Shed.

Got on the water by 6am with my buddy and was fishing with trout poles w/6lb test for the smallies which was a blast on such light tackle.

Was jigging soft plastics and doing the slow retrieve just off the bottom. Ended up with 6 smallies in 3 hours, and a couple pickerel. We also fished the a couple days before and had the same results.
We hit echo for a couple hours as well but caught nothing but pickerel.

Also had a snake follow our boat for about 10 minutes in open water! it would not leave us alone.

Gotta love smallies

Nice fish...and I guess the snake was waiting for a dead bait or small sunny to chow down on!
