    Details: Smallmouth Bass

    Post outside bend eddies & the shady laydowns holding nice smallies on the Menominee. Water levels still high/fast so anywhere current breaks is the spot to ...more fish. Cool release pic of a bruiser 20" 4lb Air88 Water79

    Rivers up nort finally coming back down after a couple months of steady,heavy rain. Been finding quality fish tight to woody cover/shade. Spinnerbaits,craws,swimbaits ...more & flukes getting things done. This 21" slob smallie instantly boiled on the fluke & started ripping drag. 4lb9oz Air87 Water78

      @justLMbass Delavan is a great fishery,I've been there about a dozen times. You'll eventually run into a 5lb smb.

    2 days on the Menominee w/over 60 smb in the boat in the 2-4lb range. Finding a mix of bedding fish & some biting near current breaks/shady laydowns. I'm ...more guessing the bigguns are recouping a bit deeper. Air82 Water66

      @elcapidano1 Thanks, Keitech makes a real nice swimbait. A bit more $ than the rest but it works great. Had to drop the bait to the floor to get em to bite.

    One of my favorite,remote spots on the Menominee River. 3 miles upriver from Saler boat launch thru a couple small rapids. Small rocky island providing a fantastic ...more photo op.

      @BIGsmallie thanks. I like that it is bigger than a kayak but smaller than most small fishing/Jon boats. maybe I'll rig one up for springtime.
    2. Paul Lukas 0
      @JustFish This boat opened up a whole new world to River smallie fishing. Buy one!
    3. Paul Lukas 0
      @JustFish 2people can stand up,it bangs thru rapids/rocks well & floats in 4"water.
    4. Paul Lukas 0
      @JustFish Highly recommend the Pelican Bassraider10'. Super stable,light,durable,tracks well into current.
    5. Just Fish 0
      @BIGsmallie nice set up there. do you recommend this boat for rivers...stable ? maneuverable in current ? OK in shallows? can't put my small boat in the river ...more and can only sit in the kayak for so long
