Took my son and his friend to American Lake on Saturday. We usually target Bass. But, I figured with all of these cold fronts, the kids would get a lot more action targeting Rock Bass and Perch. My son's friend has not fished very much and I wanted to put him on some fish. We had a blast. The kids must have caught 50-75 Rock Bass and 7 small Perch. They were just tossing 1/2 a worm around. It didn't seem to matter where. I was trying to be a good guide and didn't plan on fishing a whole lot. I did manage to get some casts in though. I finally caught my first American Lake Smallie. We don't fish this lake a lot. My son has caught a couple of Smallies out of here in the 2-3 lb. range. But, they have always eluded me, until today. We ducked into a cove to get a brief break from the strong winds. I tossed a little chartreuse grub towards the middle of the cove and retrieved it slowly. This Bronzeback smacked it hard and the fight was on. He was just under 18" and tipped my scale at 3 lbs. 1 oz. It was a fun fishing trip. The weather was cloudy, cold, and windy.
Fish On!

djb1989 Dude there are some slabs in there last year we had a tournament and the winning dude had one 5 and another close to that. Word has it they were planted in there about 89 years ago.

I'm just letting you all know. Djb1989 is my fishing partner and good friend. He is just messing with me. I will say that he is a better fisherman than comedian. He has really good fishing instincts for a Rookie.
