I fished from the pontoon in the morning using minnow patterns. I was looking for The cutts but only got two hits. I landed a really fat 16" smallmouth ( my biggest smallmouth yet). I was surprised at how hard it fought. It really pulled my tip into the water and headed for the rocks. I came back in the afternoon with my kids and a friend. We used his boat to troll. We ended up catching 7 cutts and 2 Kokanees. We were using wobbler spoons in yellow with red dots. None of the cutts were very big, but we had a good time over all. It will probably be several more weeks before the smallmouths really get going.
