As I was preparing to leave the dock, I realized that regardless of how the fishing was, my day was starting out a whole lot better than the owner of this boat
One thing about fishing the St. Lawrence, you do have to share the river
I decided to see if I could find a walleye or two to invite to supper before I got serious about the bass fishing. After several passes, all I could come up with was a few smallies.....as well as an almost constant tap tap tap of gobies.
With the abnormally hot weather and water temps I decided to forgo my usual smallie starting spot for a slightly different starting point.
My decission was on the money, producing several fish every drift. Nothing huge caught, but I was on fish like this all day.
After movig to another spot I thought I'd give my Flat Rap a work-out. I was snapping the Flat Rap back to the boat and this huge smallie shot out of the grass and was going to bust my bait.....until I decided I could time the strike and set the hook. Didn't work, not at all. Pulled the bait away from the fish...the fish just does a 180 and charges the bait.......yes......I did it twice. How stupid is that?
How stupid is asking a question like that on Fish-Hawk
During the day I had this plane fly by. Huge plane. It was flying a lot lower than one would expect a plane of that size to be flying and it seemed to be following the river.

Although with my regular EAP I do see what you mean about tucking in the elbow. That's what I love about Fish-Hawk, people helping people.
