We almost had no wind most of the time we were on the water but a light NO wind showed up just before we left. Water temperature is still 73 in most places and apparently it's warm enough for top water action! We started by fishing a point in deep water and we only caught small ones, Felix even got a perfect eating size walleye which he kept for diner. Since we weren't catching what we were looking for I decided to try a nearby area for some shallow feeding smallmouth and it paid off. It took about 5 minutes before we started to catch them... Considering the light wind and the approaching storm I decided to try a pop'R. It took about 10 casts before a small one decided she couldn't resist. Not long after I was catching a good 2.5lbs+ the same way. In all, we caught about 10 smallies and I broke a rod but I got to fish in a bassboat! I have a feeling this boat is going to see lots of action for the rest of the season and probably some monster fall smallies!
