Went out to Tapps the last two days. I caught about 12 smallies, but none of the size I have been seeing on other posts. It was my first time actually fishing Tapps from a boat for smallies, so it took me a while to figure it out. I trolled Bankers Island and driftwood point to no avail. Finally I started catching them on a hula grub, but I had to fish it really slow. It definitely would have helped to have a fish finder, but I did ok.

The biggest one I caught on Thursday was about 13", but today I caught about 3 that size off of my grandma's dock on the cold side. All I did was take a hula grub and drop it off the side of the dock and jig. We caught them all in a matter of five minutes. I also caught one 14" on the road that goes to interlake island.
