Late April

Not much happening. The bite slowed up and so did we. Took the opportunity to get stuff done around the homes and take in a couple Cubs games.
We managed a few fish here and there on the Husky Jerk. But again..I wouldn't go out with just that in the box right now.
River smallmouth bass are doing ok right now. I picked up a couple in a short 30 minute trip to a local river. Mike got a couple here and there on his lunch hour too. He also got into a few big crappies in a local pond.
Here's a couple photos from the past week.

Art with a nice smallie that hit a Fish-N-Spin lure (kinda like a Beetle Spin)


Here's Jamie with the first topwater smallie of '05. She hit a Zara Puppy (frog pattern). Notice how slim this fish is. She's done spawning this year.


Here's MIke with yet ANOTHER 23-24" largemouth. Nice fish!!
