Must Feed My Smallie Addiction!

Howdy everyone. I'm back at it again. I actually just got done in my kayak. I hit a stretch of river today. I didn't really have much luck. I found one real nice molly and probably 20 little dinks. Not quite enough to feed my addiction. So we're gonna stop here at the dam and give it a quick try. That wind really picked up and started blowing me around in the kayak too, so I'm not quite ready to head back to town yet. We might stop at a couple of spots and give them a quick try from shore. It's a little different than last time I was here. They've been doing some work to this dam. Looks pretty fishy though. We've got a nice eddy over there on that side. I've got a plopper tied on my one casting rod, but I think I'm gonna go with the Bass Assassin Elite Shiner. I've got that rigged up on a 3.16 ounce Kytek round head jig. A couple really nice mollies right down below me here. Oh, there's two big ones sitting right down there. I don't know, they might have saw me when I walked up. I saw that guy sitting in the rocks down there. I can't quite tell if that's a pike or a musky. I think it's, no, it is a pike. Fortunately, I've got him hooked in a good spot there where I don't think he's gonna bite my line. That was pretty cool. I saw this guy. Oh, he's ready to go. Bye. Yeah, I was gonna say, I saw him sitting right next to the rock in a little current break over there and dropped that jig in front of him and he could not resist it. I had to tore up my plastic though and I only brought one of them down here with me. My hands are way too slimy to try to redo that too. That should be good for at least one more fish. I know there's a couple of nice mollies I saw down there too. I don't know if they took off when I caught that pike though. They might have. That looks pretty fishy. Instantly got thumped. I'm guessing it's a smallie. Oh, yeah. Well, I like to see that. He thumped my jig instantly. That means that there's probably a couple more over there. Look at that. Nice little smallie here at the dam. That one gave that one a free tongue piercing, I think. Oh, what do you say? Should we toss it right back over there? Oh, I had another one. He thumped it. I felt him for a second. Am I blood or a fish's blood? There we go. I knew that corner looked fishy. Oh, he jumped and took it. About the same size as that last one, I think. Little baby. Come here, bud. There we go. That one's a better fish. Oh, yeah. That one's a nice smallie. Come on over here, you. There we go. Well, that's what I was hoping to find down here. Nice chunky smallmouth. Beauty. If I keep biting like this, I'm going to have to walk back up to my truck for another plastic. There we go. Just about to bounce that jig and went to lift it up and there's something on my line. That's a largemouth. Wow, that's crazy. I did not really expect to find any largemouth up here in this current. Come here, you. There we go. It's a nice bonus. Getting on some pretty good action down here at the dam. We got a real nice pike. Pretty decent largemouth here now. Got a couple quality smallmouth. Yeah, I am glad I stopped down here. There we go. That's a quality fish. Oh, yeah. That's a big one, you guys. He's coming back up here now. I should have brought my net. Gotcha. Wow, look at that. Absolute beast of a smallie. That's got to be close to a 19 inch fish, I bet. Another one on that Bass Assassin Elite Shiner. Beautiful fish. Yeah, pretty productive stop down here at the spillway. All right, you guys, I gave it about 20 minutes down there without getting bit. So, I think I caught all the active fish below the dam here today. That was a fun time, though. Definitely a productive spot. I was able to satisfy my smallie addiction with a few nice ones. Got a bonus pike down there. Bonus largemouth bass. I really wasn't expecting that. All of them on that Bass Assassin Elite Shiner. Yeah, it was a good time. Definitely glad I stopped down there. Glad you guys came along with me, too. Well, that's it for this one. I'll see you next time.
