I fished yesterday afternoon as part of the Waterfront Corporate trip. Like several of the other guides have mentioned, it was fairly tough. We started the trip out with some casting lessons and my clients did a good job of getting the hang out of baitcasting gear. We primarily fished a rat on scattered milfoil mats. We had 11 blow-ups, 7 hook-ups and landed 4. The big fish was 2lb 11 ounces.

Today, I fished a full day trip to Wilson with one client. The water temp has fallen into the low 70's to upper 60's and Wilson is about to blow wide open. For the day, we landed 15 smallmouth and 1 largemouth. The big fish of the trip was about 3.5lbs and we had 3 more over 3lbs. Both my client lost one in the 4-5lb range after a full body jump. It was pretty awesome.

I have the following days open through the early part of November.

Oct. 20, 21, 28 and 30 Nov. 4, 5, 6 and 8

From what I have seen so far, it is going to be a great smallmouth fishing fall. If anyone is interested in a trip, give me a call at 256-762-0014.

Thanks Jimmy
