Big John and I were able to get out for a few hours before dark today. We arrived at the furthest upstream ramp of the Stones (that you can launch the bassboat on). John caught a crappie on a Rapala X Rap in olive. It was a 13 inch Crappie. We spent about 25 minutes on this river strainer trying for crappie ( no Luck) and back to the smallmouth hunt. We moved up to a spot 10 ft deep with ledges down to 13ft . Using 3 inch twister tail grubs (green and smoke) we had 7 bass with 3 being good smallies. John had this nineteen incher for the big fish of the quick afternoon. The pattern today was to work the bait as slow as you could stand it. I love the skinny water of the Stones in boat or wetlegging. I will be guiding more on the skinny water of the Stones and Center Hill till spring comes.
