Big day on smallmouth

[TRT]

Caught 10 including two 17's, two 16's, had close to twenty flags in one hole.

sounds like you found "the sweet spot" for bass !

[GRIZZZ]

Congrats, love to jig for Smallies come iceseason............. .
I'm guessing your fishing Vermont, have you ever tried Island Pond for Smallies?

[finlessbrown]

i'm assuming you measured them by length, not pounds

[Percheye101]

If they were 16 and 17 pounds they are probly new world records! Lol

One disappointing thing with ice  smallys is they are lethargic. A scrawny laker
would pull a nice 3 pounder all over the lake. Nice early season action,
looking forward to trout season with the buds..

[BackFortyGuns$Ammo]

I catch some smallies through the ice and then are not normally lethargic.  They seem to run like crazy where we are.  They are coming up out of 25FOW, wonder if it varies by lake.

You must have been fishing Hortonia..thats where all the smallies are...apparently

[Rinkjustin96]

thats awsome man

[vtpike]

On a serious note, the main part of Hortonia has a good six+ inches and she should be good to go for openning of Bass Saturday.

[TRT]

VT loaded with great small mouth water just fish a little deeper than where
you caught them this fall...

I fished a private pond today and  my friend and I caught 3 smallies and I lost one that was stripping line.  It had to be 10+ lbs. but I lost it at the hole.  The wind sucked.
