For years I've ragged on Smithville. (Birddogs54 called me out on it and rightfully so) so we decided to buy the year pass and attempt to learn the lake. I have to be honest and admit that I never really put in the time to learn a lot about it; whenever I went it was short fish and it just got old, so I stopped going there. HOWEVER, lately as you can see by Josh's photo, we have had VERY good days. I can't believe the quality of the fish we caught today. So, I have to admit that I was wr.......wro...I was incorrect about the lake. I think the cost of the year pass was well worth it and look forward to learning as much as I can about the lake. A great day on the water with my friend and caught great fish to boot. Don't get much better than that!! (I caught most of those)

I have to admit to being wrong for a long time Mark, and I also have to apologize for the abuse I heaped on "The Smithville Boys"

Nice mess of fish! Can I ask what area were you in? Iv'e been fishing W bridges often and it's been tough. It seems like I'm only able to catch them far out and deep. Thanks!

North of W bridge, first big cove on the left with the trees at the entrance. NOT trying to be evasive, just don't know enough to be more specific.
