  • Susky Flats - 3/2/12

    1st cast, fish-on. 1 more bump and nothing else. Nice sized smallie from shore. 4 -5lb estimate and about 22"

    6 -7 boats out working the flats....They must be thinking that things are starting

    Thats an Awesome Smallmouth! I bet he put up a good fight. 20" is citation for smallmouth in Chesapeak Bay. You might be able to get a C&R citation if you take the picture with your rod for size comparison to a certified dnr citaion issuing dealer...

      He hit like a freight-train. slow-working a bunker storm swimmer.

        Minh, nice smallmouth. You were not kidding about that area. I am going to have to make a few trips up there for the Harve De Grace Grand Slam, a striper, a large mouth and a smallmouth in the same trip. Good Luck.

          Ah yes... the dreaded fish-on-first-cast syndrome. Killed more than one fishing trip for me. Still though, a very nice looking fish.

            Do you remember what the water temp was?
            It's interesting that there were boats working the flats this early. I wonder if any large stripers are in the area yet?

              Sorry, I was on shore so I didn't get a temp reading. I should have my yak out by the end of the week and will post a temp reading.

              Oh yeah, windy and cold today out at the Flats. Caught the skunk!

                I like it when they hit like trains. Nice smb. Nice green rod too.

                  Great fish, fat and healthy.

                    Thanks guys. This year has been the earliest I've ever caught. Feb 24th was my first smallie. Skunked the past three days though (from shore)! Ah well!

                    Did see a small walleye swimming by my feet today.

                      Where did you see the walleye? The only place I know is at the base of the dam. I've wondered if they go down river further.

                        Further south of the dam. Lapidium area. My plug was almost as big as the Walleye
