I had a couple of good hours at CJ Strike Reservoir yesterday, despite the high winds, bright sunshine, dirty water, and high flows coming out of the dam. I picked ...more up 3 smallmouth and 2 largemouth, one over 2 pounds, from under the bridge just downstream of the dam. All 5 fish were on a Bagley, dark red bluegill colored shallow diving crankbait.
As always, remember to use two hands when handling your fish for catch and release to avoid damaging jaw muscles - Cheers!!
