    Now I'm not a biologist by any means, just trying to learn all that I can ahead of next year's “fool's mission” of trying to locate smallmouth in the lake. Having said that, right now it appears to...

    From what I have been able to research, these are not native to the Mississinewa water shed and only smallmouth and largemouth have ever been stocked. The other thing is that this isn't a one-off as...

    Take a look at this fish, notice the indented forehead and sharp taper towards the mouth. In the past couple of years I'm catching more of these strangers and I'm just not sure what they are? Of the...

    A 16-20” smallmouth bass, or bigger, that smallmouth has roughly lived 8-10 years. This means that it has had to survive in an agreeable environment. This also...

    Where the big smallmouth are being caught in the summer - it's even difficult to float a kayak through much of the river's shallow course. It's that shallow up river. We wade and hip waders are...

    Jim,

    Under a blazing summer sun? Yep, it’s true, the best time to go big smallmouth fishing in my local shallow river is between the bright summer hours of 11am & 3pm. This is when I catch 90% of...

    In my personal hunt for big smallmouth on the river, one of the main challenges that exist on the river is, “how do I compete with such an abundance of feeder shad?” This has proven a huge factor in...
