Must be nice. I get the net, and the boats swarm us. During the perch festival, you can literally walk across the boats. Good thing most of them don't have a clue
I was thinking the same thing about Dale Hollow Lake! Simcoe is a dream lake, it has everything! Being an hour north of Toronto, it gets pounded. Does DHL have much fishing pressure?
Yeah thats a big one. They might not get as big as DHL, but we have some big ones. My buddy caught one a few years back 9lb 2oz. The " professional bass anglers" bring in record tournament weights around the thirty pound mark for five fish- all smallies. Not good for length though. I've caught five pounders under 20" there like footballs!
I have only landed two....Nothing worth posting. It's been weird, seeing more than ever just a lot of bad luck and not getting em in. Ill keep ya posted
Well that's not really bad news? What is the weight of the world record smallmouth? I catch mine when they come up to feed on the shoals.(usually 8- 12 feet). You can see them swimming along, and there hungry! Nothng like watching a big smallie attack your bait/lure. When your fighting one, it's like they get in a frenzy, other bass show up and devour everything the one you have on spits up(crayfish). You get to watch it all, its really cool

Yeah just opened last weekend. I've had it rough...I have had 8 or 9 hit the past couple days, but haven't got one in the boat. We have landed three so far and the the biggest was only 36". My brother lost one yesterday that was about 46-48". I'm goin' out tomorrow all day so I SHOULD be posting pics tomorrow night!!!!
Ha yeah I've been catchin' a few. Musky opens this weekend up here so I won't be going after the smallies as much. Yeah I've noticed you guys have been doing good too. What's the biggest this year? And yeah I have been catchin' alotta musky bait. Last Friday the guy I was fishin' with had a mid-40s musky on a ten inch smallie. He fought it for about 3 minutes and then it dropped the smallie.....Never had it hooked and that smallie probably didn't feel too good for the rest of the day!
Well........Thanks for askin. This is gonna be lengthy but Im gonna type it on your wall anyways...The trip was great, the fishin' was not. We got a nice cabin close to Cave Run Lake and had a great trip down and back. We fished two 9 hr days (4 guys, 2 boats) and the weather was great.
I saw two skis and they were just scared of the boat. We didn't have a follow or hit. We trolled or casted the entire time. My buddy did have the biggest largemouth he's ever had on, which was about 9-10 lbs. Everyone I talked to said we were too early and it was a bad spring for them. By the end of the second day my fishin' partner was ready to get off the water. And not being able to drink definitely didn't help pass the time!
But it was worth making the trip. I would probably go to KY again, but not for the skis:)
Hey Dave Kiddo! I hope you are well along with your family! Awesome catches!!!Thank you for the kind words and comments! The fun season has started!!WAHOO! One day I WILL get your way!
Smiles Always!
