Last week's float trip

Rough float trip last Friday . Took a 17' canoe with 3 of us and water low . They carried too much gear which was unneeded. Caught a several Bass , I caught about 8 good Small Mouth and we caught a several Largemouth and Spots . Threw a Rattlin Rouge in same purple/chartreuse . Don and his son threw a variety of baits . Bet they get some of what I used . Sure was tired and did not get out except to grill some food on the weekend . Still hot and sore from sitting in a wet seat and falling on rocks pulling over shoals . Smallmouth are scrappers and one of my favorite fish to catch .

Know what you mean about too much gear! My brother usually shows up with two duffle bags and 8-10 rods and we end up using same bait and rod all day lol. Good thing is he’s always on time....being late (and constant cell phone use) not acceptable.

Congrats, a great trip!

Nice looking fish. I had a really good trip with my Uncle and Jacob on the Kings River a few weeks ago. My local creek is getting low and warm.

Man! Great times!!

Mrs Loop Knot has been talking about getting kayaks and floating the Buffalo. My thoughts turn to seeing if I can catch a small mouth on a 10ft jig pole... seems like that would be possible...

10 ft jig pole in kayak is definitely an adventure. Put a flotation device on it too lol

They are fun to catch but in clear water casting best bet

I have never caught a lot of small mouth but the ones I caught were fun for sure!!
