NWR Jan 5th / Lake Smith 7th
Arrived at the river around 9(ish) less than a doz trailers in the parking lot my motor is not a winter motor nonono
Finally got er started, my bud and son shows up we fish structure with only one about 8 inches on a silver buddy.
I met Dean at the same spot (Idunno) see his earlier report (NWR) he gave me a heads up of what to expect I should have listened and turned around on the spot :bash
after an hour and a half or so my trolling motor battery is near dead... I carry a spare got her in and headed to the park, had a couple misses brought in one standard NWR crappie (10 in) minnow slip bobber, a couple misses tighlinning, we decided to call it a day early.
Lake Smith
Arrived about 9:30 NO ONE THERE...:scratchhead
What the heck got the lake to myself :woohoo headed to all my favorite spots water temp 42 to 43
water was clearer than NWR, wind in the open lake was maybe 10 mph.... not a bad day what did I catch?
Nothing not even a bite.....it drizzled off and on, I put up with it until about 2:00 and when I left still no boats out
I guess I didn't get the memo:banghead
Note: Lake Smith day was Sunday the 6th not the 7th
