Another breakfast of pancakes and we're off to land over 40 fish between the two of us, including 5 double hookups. The SMB are VERY active and we fish 6-7 hours straight, casting as close to the shoreline as possible. The fish are holding very close to the waters edge in any visible structure. There are so many rocky points/dropoffs to name. The entire Eastern shore, island and western inlet seem to be the most productive. The fish we caught were of all sizes and are caught on crankbaits, silver and gold rapalas, bucktails and small chartreuse spinnerbaits as well as buzzbaits in the evening.
We eat another bass for dinner because we didn't want to try very long for walleye. The bass action is too fast for comparison and we quickly get bored jigging for walleye. There's no freshwater comparison to the fight of a smallmouth bass. Fried bass with potatoes and onions hits the spot after a long day fishing. Watch a few loon swim/fish/call while eating and reading books. Wash dinner down with Tequila/vodka/Jack....bad idea
