A great fun week at Arcadia Lodge! Weather was hot and humid the first three days and cooled off a little bit followed by rain and thunderstorms. We checked out and went home on Friday. Smallmouth action was fantastic! The mayfly hatch was in full bloom and the hot lure was the 1/8 oz. or 1/4 oz. black hair jig tipped with a pinched off 2″ Berkley Gulp Nightcrawler or X Zone Lures Slammer. Jigged and worked slow along the reed edges in 8-10 feet of water caught most of the fish. Fish ranged from 19″, 18″, and several in the 16″ to 17″ sizes. One evening I hooked up with a fish in the 20″ mark that took drag and snapped my line due to my drag being set too tight. I also caught a dogfish too on the Rapala BX Brat. Joshua and Stacey caught a few smallies on a live nightcrawler rigged under a bobber. Other lures that caught fish include the 1/4 oz. Acme V-Rod and twister tail with underspin.
