New York Smallmouth

The past weekend was a beautiful weekend to get out and fish for some early season NY smallmouth! I spent Saturday and Sunday chasing these awesome fish around the american side of the lake and I think I did pretty good! I tried using the same baits I did last year during early spring smallmouth, and I found that they were not working the same as they did last year. I finally played around with some different baits and techniques and I found the key to success! Once I found the depth and that special bait ... it was game over. I landed 64 fish between Saturday and Sunday... that doesn't include the ones I lost. This has given me an extra boost of confidence for the upcoming tournament season and I look forward to what this year has to bring me.
