I made a trip to Elkhorn, near my home in eastern Kentucky over the weekend to test the waters for smallmouth bass. The weather was nice with clear skies which made for a nice trip. I began my day fairly early and was able to find a nice little spot that seemed like it would be holding fish. As it turns out, my instincts were correct and on the second cast of the morning I boated a nice 2lb smallie. I was fishing an ultra-light rig with 4lb test which seemed to be perfectly matched to the resident fish population. I used several different bait selections from a 3” bass assassin to strike king buzz baits. It was my lucky day since it seemed the fish were feeding and everything I tossed in the water was working.
I fished through the morning with a total of 12 smallmouth in the 2-3lb class (which were of course released), and on the ultra-light tackle, they put up quite a battle. I took a break for lunch when the fishing died down and returned later that afternoon when the tempetures cooled a little. Unfortunately, so did the fishing. Well, sometimes that is how it goes, after all, that is why it is called fishing and not catching. Until next time, tight lines.
I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Jeremiah Weed

I heard through the military grape vine that your product is going off the market, is that true? My husband is a fighter pilot and we were just curious since it is harder to find. I hope not. If it is we would like to get a couple cases before it’s no longer around.
