I took yesterday off (needed a mental break) and went to my favorite Ozark stream and fished for smallmouth. I used a new to me rod that a good buddy basically gave me. A Favorite Rods Jackhammer. He told me to use braid with it to maximize sensitivity. So I ordered up some Power Pro V2 8-lb braid and learned to tie on the leader with an FG knot. Man is this setup awesome for creek fishing. I also used a new to me bait called a Niko Hellgrammite. The fish were hammering it. Like usual, I pack a backpacks with of gear and nearly fish with the same thing all day .I ended up catching over 50 fish with 40 being smallmouth. No real big ones. The creek was pretty low and the stretch I fished didn’t have any deep pools. I also caught some Longear Sunfish, Ozark Bass, and Green Sunfish. It was a great stress relieving day. I didn’t see anyone else on the creek until I was walking out. I now feel mentally refreshed. Great day!
