3 days of skunked!

[YaknVa]

Took the yak out for the third time today. First two trips were last week to Swift Creek Lake at pocohantas park. Today was swift creek in colonial heights. Went with a few guys from work, they were in a jon boat. Stayed out for 5 hours went all over and skunked again. I am itching to get that first bass in the yak. O well maybe the end of the week before hurricane rain arrives

The plan was to go to the upper james end of next week, we just have to watch where this hurrican goes Ive never fished for smallies before but hear it is a blast. Any suggestions?

During the summer months, working the "seams" between fast and slower moving water is always a good bet. The smallies hang in the slower side and ambush food. Let an 1/8oz to 1/4oz jighead, depending on depth, with a plastic craw, tube, etc drift along the seam.

Shady banks with wood and rock cover are always good on sunny days. Good targets with spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, crankbaits, and plastics.

Ledge rock and smallies go together. If rock is perpendicular to current, look for fish down in the trenches in deeper area.

Hijack Jeff Little or Juan and hold them for ransom until they divulge their secrets...

Seriously though - PM BMP. HookUp, oubassman, BigYaker or i0nized anytime you are heading out and they might be able to help get you started. Heck they might even tag along and divulge a tip or two.

I hear oubassman is a sucker for any Steeler swag
