nice pair of smallies

[Ronnie D]

caught this evening near some rocks in Lake Ontario out of my favorite fishing port in something less than 20 feet of water

Catch them on your favorite lure that you bought from a favorite store?

Jk!

Nice smallies!

I am so using that pose!  You nailed it!

Black/Clear and Purple/Clear deep thunderstick jrs caught them. I don't recall where I bought them. Favorite port = home port. There's only 3 serious sets of rocks nearby that I know of I picked one of them.   heh. Actually very common bassing spot. 

 

I am finally learning which days are bass days and which days are salmon/trout days. I was fishing for them specifically, they were not just trouting accidents.  

 

 

Thanks about the pose. I ended up using a timer on my phone cam to snap a shot when the battery charged enough to use the flash.   

 

      Click button, grab fish off cutting board, hope like hell I am where the camera was aimed. 

      Couldn't get my neighbor to come over and take pic for me so I had to make due. 

      I thought it turned out pretty nice also.

Nice job Ronnie! I am glad to see that some bass can be found in Lake Ontario. I used to fish for smallies on the big lake as often as I could. I gave up fishing for them when they seemed to vanish from the rock piles a few years ago.

Any other Smallmouth reports from Sandy to Wautoma?

Water cooled off a bit and and I caught a nice 10lb brown trout on my magic spot with same setup but no more bass.
