I went to the riverpark hoping to find some crusing smallmouth. Instead I found a west wind that was 3 times what the weather channel said it would be. I went to 4 places I know usualy holds some baitfish and started scanning looking for some action... nothing! So I went down river to fish some main river structure. popped a few of Mr. Wiskers&#39; pet spaaats. I called my buddy who runs Rhythm &amp; Brews downtown and he brought some High Life and we just putted around and swaped war stories and had a few beers in the 80 degree weather. We then rode up to the Boathouse and slammed a few dozen oysters and then I had to get him back to work. With about 30 mins before dark the wind had died down so I went to dam and started throwing the tube around and popped this little 16.5 incher right before dark. First of many smallies on my new bronzeback rod.<br />Water temp reached 54 in one spot.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
