Hey guys,
I will be coming to Champlain May 16-22. I have never been on a lake with smallmouth and that is what I am looking to go for. Please if anyone could give some ideas on baits and or colors and areas I sure would appreciate it. We will be staying at The Anchorage. I am trying to put together a tackle order for smallmouth. I have never fished a tube (what colors and sizes and weights of hooks) and very rarely drop shot so need a lot of advice on that. I do love jerkbaits and I hear that is a great time for jerkbaits. A couple other questions is what size line. I am normally throwing 65 braid or 16lb flouro. Is 8lb light enough for the clear water on a drop shot rod? How about 10lb on a jerkbait?
I am So looking forward to this trip. My brother an I have not caught a smallmouth over 2.5lbs. Thanks for any help guys.
Happy Fishing!!!
