Figured I'd been striking out on the rivers so much in the last two months, might as well pull the boat out. Hit the lake about 8am, surface temp 45F and very little wind. Had a fairly steady perch bite all day and managed one smallie out of 55-60 foot of water on a dropshot (gulp minnow in pearl). My first December bass so I left the lake a happy man. Lost a few other fish that may have been smallmouth, I'll never know. Good to have the boat out again and not a bad day in the chilly weather. Tight lines everyone!

I bass fish American alot. When fishing plastics on that lake all you can do is wade through the multitude of perch and rockbass bites, hoping for a smallmouth somewhere in between. Great job, and, this time of the year, well deserved! Congrats.

Isn't that the truth! Some guy catches one smallmouth and all us crazy bass fishermen start dusting off the boats, when the only thing that will probably be caught is a good case of hypothermia. No wonder my bass fishing buddy moved to Florida. He now bass fishes year around, and, during our winter months, rudely reminds me of it every time he calls. Last call he told me he's about a month away from spawning season.....Rude!!!!
