We fished early in the morning hitting smallies on top water lures. Bass isn't our favorite, but since we had planned for a fish dinner these would do nicely. I accidentally sent my lure through a tree branch and as we paddled to retrieve it a smallie hit the lure. The fish threw the hook before we could get to it. A few minutes later I caught a good size smallie only to have it throw the hook a few feet before we could land it. The fish just stayed a few feet below the surface so I chunked my lure a few feet from it. A few seconds later the fish was on a stringer.

Adams lake is definitely the most scenic lake I've had the pleasure to stay on. The central part of the lake isn't particularly special, but the Northwest arm was very pretty. Definitely worth the wait to get there, can't wait to come back.
