Hit D.C. this afternoon.started about 4 after everyone else was leaving.Fished for EYES until the wind stopped caught 3 12"-16" missed a few more. Went over to my honey hole for smallies to see if they had woken up yet and WOW!! they were up and hungry! boated 25 in hour! fished until dark caught a few more until we went home.The fishing was fast and they were agressive.Used pumkin and smoke pepper grubs on 1/8" in about 15-20ft.As it got later in they moved in closer into the rocks, would take your jig as soon as it went under the surface...AWSOME!![sly][sly] Going to strawberry all day wed, and will stop at D.C. on the way home for more smallie action! They have awoken from there winter nap!! FINALLY!!! water temps 60-56 deg.

Thanks for the report! I might hit DC tomorrow, but not too sure, because there was a standing invitation to go with a friend to Willard for those strong and mighty wipers.

Nice.
You should do well at srawberry. We were up there yesterday and smacked them up pretty good. Just about everything was in the slot, but those bigger cutts are real nice.
Fat and healthy.

I also tried deer creek on monday, with not so much luck. We landed just a few smallies with all of them being quite small. We caught our fish on jigs and mainly fished in wallsburg bay. What area of the lake did you catch all of your smallies? Were you fishing shallow water or steep banks?
