Went to Blue to spend some nice hot days there. Arrived sunday july 15 and came home today july 20. Monday was the best day as I caught 7 smallies. All ranging from very small to about 2 pounds. The ones in the pics are the biggest ones I caught. Used a brown trout floating rapala in shallow rocky area along the shore in my boat. As monday passed i caught less and less as the week went on. But still had a blast catching those smallies. They where all great fighters and jumped really high above the water. It was great. The weather was very hot in the 90s and had one overcast day which was great for fishing. The smallmouth fishing on Blue is great the last couple months. I have had more smallmouth action on this lake than Banks lake this year. It sure beats catching those scarce trout in Blue. I just wish they wouldn't kill the lake off because Blue could be a great little bass lake if they just gave it time.
