Smithville Report for Saturday 06/28/2025

Got on the water at 7am off at 11am water temp 80.5 and spawn seems to be over. rotfl

Caught fish every place I stopped but one spot. They were not on that shallow spot from a couple weeks ago for sure. First couple were keepers then I was left fighting off the shorts. It was a C&R day so on the TM a lot and would pick off a few keepers here and there. Used my clicker so caught 32 but 11 to 13 were keepers, well all are keepers at the Ville. Had one keeper I couldn't even make look good with the hdhntr (longarm) pose so no need to try. Now for a BUNCH of Pics (I was feeling very photogenic I guess) and yes the eagle was admiring my fish catching skills or stole my spot when I left!

Awesome job and good pics!

Even like the little one. Looks like you had a great day!

sounds fun, even better to not have to clean them

Looks like a fun day on the water congrats!

Very cool Bald Eagle picture. Apropos for this time of year,

Nice job, makes me anxious to get out before the 4th. Cool eagle pic

Srsly??

Hrm.


Were you fishing jigs or minnows?? :Rofl


I was wondering how you ended up, after seeing your texts.

We're back in town and eager to get out again.

every lake is different. one of my home lakes shallow bite was on till last week and some still in breeding colors. others done back in May.

Great ketch's Bill. some solid keepers there and that eagle pic was epic. thanks for sharing.
