In reply to "[size 1]They are getting harder to find and it looks like the time for 30+ smallie days are over. Were oh Were did the big smallies go"[/size]
[size 1]Start fishing the junk. Beef up your line, get real weedless, and fish the real garbage stuff. At least thats what I have been told. [/size]
[size 1]I have the fortune of talking with tons and tons of fishermen on a regular basis, and the general attitude is that when the spawn is over, the water temps are rising, and the fishing pressure is high, fish the junk for the big ones. [/size]
[size 1]Also, there is a group of "regulars" on jordanelle, they fish it three or four times a week, and can always be found there. [/size]
[size 1]They are the same guys who are coming in to the tackle shops time and time again quietly getting thier lures, and quietly stomping on the fish up there. [/size]
[size 1]These guys are guys to watch. Watch where they fish, watch what they use, and how it changes through the season. Watch how they position themselves in relation to the bank at different tims of year. [/size]
[size 1]I find that most guys are real nice people. Willing to help you out, and talk fishing. [/size]
