How deep were you finding those monsters?

Joe,
Way to wack em. I am hoping to get out either this week or Saturday for some action. I has been a long fishless spring for me. Just have not had the time with a new baby, but I hope things will change a bit.

See you on the river.

That looks sweet! I've always wanted to go up there but I haven't fished for smallies so I don't want to end up wasting my gas. I'll have to just try it here real soon. Thanks for the report!
