Report: Got into browns early, security opened the gate and let me in early. Started throwing Sinkos off the dam. As I was removing a back lash from my buddies rod I get picked up. I was teaching him how to use my new currado and powell. So I finish removing the back lash, figured another spotted dink. I gave him back his rod, and I decide to set the hook on my rod and flip him in the boat. Yeah think again, 7 lb spotted pretty cool. Then I pull up this smallie who spits a brown crawfish with bright orange claws. So I go to the brown orange craw jig and start reeling in this school of 2 1/2 to 4# smallmouth. Oh and the jerk bite was on to. All dinks but a few on jerk baits but it was one after another. Fished along the dam, I was the only boat fishing that stretch. It was a really nice labor day on the lake with 5mph thing. It was a ghost town. And I think I made a new Bass fishing phyco out of my buddie.
Tips: If a fish you catch pukes up something. Its a pretty good bet that will work.
