Last Friday I fished out of  Kens boat on Old Hickory and caught 20-30  Largemouth but the 3 on the top row was our best for the day. If you fish Old Hickory I need to give you this tip. The Largemouth there love no let me say LOVE the  SMS05 Storm #611 Rainbow Smelt Smash Shad for some reason. www.stormlures.com I ran up on this last year and it worked again last Friday,  This little bait will run 6 to 8 feet on 6lb Sufix Mono www.sufix.com and over 20 of them smashed it Friday-we threw a variety on other crankbaits including a #5 and #7 Shad Raps and the Smash Shad out paced them hands down. Today 4-19-2016 I fished out of my boat on Nick A Jack for 4 1/2 hours only caught 1 of the 25 on a crankbait but they would nail a swim bait rigged on a VMC 1/8oz Dater Head jig. www.vmchooks.com and 8lb test Sufix mono.   I could have taken more pics each day but this will give you a good idea of what happened. No real big fish either day but a bunch of them—–if you can’t have fun doing this something is wrong with you.  More hopefully yet this week. Maybe even some Crappie pictures.
