Smith lake trip was a bust!!!
Saw one fish iced, never got a bite or saw a fish on the video camera. Couple guys said they caught 2 or 3 fish each, but I never saw them. I think the fishing pressure from the Smith Lake Family Derby and the Perch Assault has the lake a little off balance at this point. Ice was 15" thick and solid, making lots of Pops and groans(it was growing today)....
Hope you have better luck than I did...
