Went after the smallies at DC yesterday, fished from 5-8:30 pm and caught 13. Most were from 8-10" but caught one close to 13". At first, my son and I trolled a perch-colored crankbait and caught two small ones on that. Discovered where the fish are congregating after three or four passes, so we decided to anchor and fish in 14-18 ft of water. Used a dropshot rig most of the time, but the last four fish was caught on a split-shot rig. I used smoke-colored 4" Senkos and motor-oil 3" grub on all the fishes. We were by the island where some rocks are sticking out about 10 feet from shore.

Thanks for the report. Have you been up to Jordanelle lately? I haven't had the tube out for 3 weeks and am hoping for Saturday evening. I may also try the island if the waterskiers aren't too bad at DC.

Barry,
I haven't been up to Jordanelle since that outing with SenkoNate, and that news about closure of Rock Cliffs kinda dampened my desire to go up to Jordanelle, even though I have a boat I can launch at Hailstone. The fun boaters wasn't too bad last Thursday, of course, it was a weekday so that probably explains the small size of the recreational boaters on DC. I have family from out of town this weekend so I won't be able to do any fishing. PM me on your next outing, maybe I can join you if you don't mind some company.
