I just really enjoy the fight in the smallmouth. The smallmouth in the river I live on fight even harder than those northern lake smallmouth, they just don't get as big. I have caught 15 - 17 inch fish out of the river since I have returned and they felt like 3 or 4 pounders when I fought them. Can't get enough.

I came out on the 6th, where did you see me?
We had an 8 AM pick up at PP.

We saw you on North Moose Lake. I said to my son, I think that's Quetico Mike. He knows you because I love my Zulus now. My digital broke the first day of the trip and I missed out on a pic of a 22 smallie. I took the back up disposable camera though and brought it in today. (1 week processing) Hopefully we can share our pics next week. Thanks for all your advice!!!

So you recognized me on the tow boat? That's pretty cool! I hope your picture turns out!


You are most welcome! That's what it is all about, I try to help anybody catch more fish if I can.

I am heading into the Q next week...hoping they are as aggressive as they were a couple years ago about this time. 18-20s seemingly every cast.

Looks like you caught them on just about anything you tossed at them. Very nice.

Did the best with the green pumpkin tube, 3.5 inch with 1/8 oz jig head. The second best lure was the ZMAN RaZor on a Zulu rig with size 4 ball bearing swivel.

What are you doing with these plastics, running them along the bottom from shallow to deeper? Even a high level overview of your technique would be most appreciated.

I worked these lures at all depths during certain times depending on the location.
I sent you several articles which might be helpful.
Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will try to help.
