3 Species Day at Willard 7-12-22

[TubeDude]

We were driving down from Idaho about mid day and it looked like the wind was picking up at Willard. Did you get caught in it?

I hope Echo or Rockport are on the plan in the next couple days, but I have been saying that for 2 weeks.

The weather forecrash was just what I look for.  Light breezes in the morning and then "zephyrs" afternoon.  It was just starting to get a bit airy when I got back to the ramp about 11.   

Good luck on hitting Echo or Rockport.  You owe yourself a productive trip or two.  Hope they get the ramp open at Echo for fall fishing.

Good to hear you are back in action and that Tubebabe is on the mend. From your finder pic it looks like two different sized shad in the water. A jumping smallmouth, that's interesting. Glad the cats, perch and smally wanted to play, always fun having a multi species day.

Smallmouth jump a lot...especially when you hook them on light gear in shallow water.  Not so much when you hook them down deeper while trolling at mach 3.  I catch quite a few while pitching into the rocks (during higher water) and a high percentage of them jump at least once.  This one jumped several times on the way in.  Here's a pic I caught on the video.
