Jaime and Josh tore these fish up yesterday! ? Neither had ever caught a Smallmouth before but they both got 5lbers by the end of the day!

The fall smallmouth bite is starting to heat up out here! The Zappa crew had a heck of a day drop shoting big smallies for a final bag of around 23lbs with the largest fish coming in at a thick 21" long!

The panfish bite is staying strong! ? We wanted a fish fry for dinner, and within an hour, we had plenty for a grease bath. The crappies and bluegills have moved out to their summer haunts, romaing vast weed beds that offer main lake access. Casting a jig and bobbers have both been doing really well. We have started to see an uptick in the trolling bite recently and only expect it to get better as we get into July.
