#smallmouth #bassfishing #winter I broke my #1 rule for boating in shallow water. And I paid. December 26, 2023 on the Juniata river PA. First real winter smallmouths I’ve ever caught.
That rule of going upstream seems like one so simple but something no one ever thinks about. I will remember it now! You are lucky those guys could give you a tow.
I was on the susky near city island today I was debating heading up more that direction. I should of the bite down there was dead I went from city island all the way to 81 not a bit of luck.
Sucks when the bite is off there. Juniata was pretty cool but City Island is definitely my favorite area right now. I finally made it up to the 81 bridge area Friday with my prop outboard. Water was just high enough. I did catch a few nice ones up there within 100 yards of the rapids. Got them on a ned jig head and stone cat looking soft plastics drifting on the bottom.
