I went out to Smithville for the first time this morning, but didn't have any luck. I had planned on putting in the water at paradise sailboat cove, but it's closed for the season apparently - so I ended up putting in at Camp Branch slightly south of there.
I had intended on fishing beneath the Collins bridge, but there were already a couple of guys trolling back and forth between the two supports so I thought it would be rude to post up right beside them. It's not a very large area. So I went on a little further and tried in timber off in the point right near the House Erikson Camp. I saw fish on the finder, but none of them seemed interested.
THE WIND THOUGH! Jeez it was windy. 4 layers on and the wind was ripping right through them. The temperature wasn't terrible, but I couldn't hang with the wind. I was only out there from 7-9:30 before i had to pull the boat out to thaw my hands.
I guess I'll just have to try again soon. I really want to get below that bridge, since I don't know where any brush piles are in that lake... Anyone want to show me around and teach me their ways? :biggrin
