Memorial Day weekend

Fishing is still going very good. Mike and I got out this weekend a few times and had pretty good success. We're finding the smallies in the rivers just about everywhere. It may take some time to get into a real nice one but if you just keep fishing, you'll connect sooner or later. I got an 18" smallie this morning on a 1/16oz Slider Head jig with a 2" black Berkley Power Grub . She was in a small area of 5 or 6 boulders along a shoreline. Sometimes that one lone spot can have a good fish in it. Other notable river catches this weekend were 4 or 5 smallies in the 14-16" range. Lures that are working are jigs & plastics, Storm Sub Wart in baby bass pattern and a white Rooster Tail Spinner.
Buzz and I hit a few ponds on saturday. These ponds uses to be great just last year but they were overfished quickly and are now nothing but dink factories. We only got a couple wirth photographing out of the estimated 50-75 bass we caught. The rest were all very small. Our main lure was the Wave Worm "Tiki Stix". They are very comparable to Yamamoto Senkos but stay on the hook better. I think I caught 20 bass on ONE as opposed to the normal one or two fish you'd get on a Senko before having to pitch it. We're recommending that you pick up some Tiki Stix at your local tackle shop.
