For instance, FishSteelhead uses all these crazy letters, smileys, etc.
Here’s my impression of him answering a “best smallmouth bait” Q.
What is the best lures for smallies?
Welp, it differs from the people you ask dont it <<<;) ;( Well, dem smallies are the only type A' balack bass i fish for deeze days ;) stopped with the "big-mouths" a while back ;))<<<<>>>> When you hook dem here smallies they fight like a d___ coal train But as mentioned these here soft plastics catch ye’ fair shar’ of ‘em smallies. ;o >>>><<<<<

hi iv been fishing for the last week off my dock in shallow water, and i caught 1 bass with a buzzbait but after that i didnt even get a bite. It was really cold and rainy that week. so i took a break on friday and the weather got warm and sunny so this morning i went out onto my dock to cast a couple times i here 3 big splashes right under my dock then i looked in the water and saw a couple bass just laying there anyways there are all of a sudden just a ton of bass everywhere ( not just under the docks but in the water next to my dock that will eventually be covered with lillys. i have always had most of my success fishing with a hula popper in the evening but i would like to know what i should throw out there to catch some of them IN THE DAY.
ps this is in Minnesota and there is some milfoil keeping me from fishing at the bottom of the lake and the water is about 4 or 5 ft deep at the most thanks
ps there are also tons of huge carp just chillin with the bass if that means anything
I fish the Clearwater River In Central ID. It is a fairly fast moving river with a few deep pools. It has very little cover other than rocks and sand. I have a few questions about catching the larger smallies.
1. I mostly fish tubes with a 1/8 to 1/4 oz internal jig head or curly tail with same size ball jig head but I keep hanging up, near as I can tell the jig head is getting wedged between the boulders, I have tried Texas rigs, spinnerbaits, Carolina rigs, plain weedless bass jigs, ect. but they all get hung up too. The fish seem to like the lure touching bottom as the primary forage are craws and sculpins. How can I keep from getting hung up while keeping in contact with the bottom?
2. What kind of structure will I find the bigger ones hiding around?
3. I really like the drop shot rig but the ball sinker gets hung up almost every cast, how can I keep it from getting hung up?
Dr. Powdersky-I have tried weightless plastics but they seem to like it on the bottom and the current washes a weightless rig downstream before it can even sink a few feet. as for line I’m using 10lb braid with 8lb flouro leader. the braid is almost as small as my 4lb flouro.
The Wormist-I’ll have to try that, it makes sense because I use pencil lead clipped to a swivel for steelhead and it don’t hang up near as often as the drop shot weight.
But as mentioned these here soft plastics catch ye’ fair shar’ of ‘em smallies. ;o >>>><<<<<
