Chaumont smallies

[Kevin J Legg]

The smallmouths have been an issue fishing for walleyes. When I get into 17 fow or less the rods start firing with big smallies. Sometimes I had multiple fish on at a time and I had to move to deeper water to avoid catching them. Many were in the 16-20" range. I would think they would be around for the opener. Stick baits off boards and shallow set riggers. Come opening weekend I may try long lining some shallow divers with light spinning gear if I don't fish Chippewa Bay.

Nice to hear that there are plenty of Bass around. Do you catch them drifting at all later in the summer?

Early summer they are easy to target
