Rasbo if you are going to use the plastics mentioned above stay with your greens, browns, black colors. There are a lot of items out there and they look real pretty but stay dark. If you want to drop by someday and I will show you some things to get, I only have about 10,000 of them so you can kind of see the colors and the different setups..

Oh yes still going, just waiting to see if the wife is going to be able to get the time off, if she does then I will pull the trailer over there, if not then will just drive the ranger and sleep in the back of it...

No chance of bad weather, Machias already put in a request and mother nature granted it.  Its going to be 70 and sunny with barely a breeze.  I'm not even bringing a tent, dirt nap under the stars.  8)

Hey Walt, make sure you bring some money (cash), that dirt nap if it is crappy might cost a lot to get in the camper :P :tung:

As far as smallies I've had some pretty good luck with black and purple rooster tails too.  I can't wait :fire.: :whoo: :whoo:
I've slowed down enough in my old age to finally let the game catch up to me

I have zero smallmouth lures,what should I bring to lyons ferry

tube jigs in darker colors work really well. Plus they area supper cheap in comparison to crankbaits. I like 3" motor oil or pumpkin seed color, 1/4 ounce heads work good. I have a variety form 1/16 - 3/4 on hand.  :twocents:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Walmart has some really cheap plastics for 1.27 a bag. I was using them yesterday and they worked on Walleye and I've used them in the past and had great luck with them for smallmouth. If you get into the smallies about every 5th fish you will have to replace the tube they rip them apart. I guess there could be worse problems.  :chuckle:
