Thursday was tough with the NW wind and high pressure, but it all changed around 630 in the evening. I was fishing my usual go-to spot for ending an outing and was able to find some fish int the jumps. This usually means largemouth, hybrids or white bass. Not today... these were some hungry smallies and absolutely went crazy for the next hour and half. Took a few pics and then put the camera down. There is a pic of another smallie from another trip in late spring as well. This one was from an entirely different part of the lake and that is always encouraging to me. It seems like I am catching more smallies than ever in Priest. Thanks for reading and I hope these pics load up.

Thanks, I haven't been finding them as much this year either. It sure is fun when it happens regardless of species. I was throwing a ghost white Rapala X-rap that stays between surface and 6ft under.
