In-Line Spinner Check Prices

• Joe's Flies spinner
• While plying the northern end of the lake by the mouths of the inlet streams, I tossed around one of those Joe's "Fly Spinners." While I didn't get any trout, it turns out that Sunnies and yellow perch couldn't get enough of it!
• Also included in mess of fish attacking the fly spinner was this large sunfish. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure which species it is. I'm guessing it's a Bluegill, due to it's size and lack of red on the gill cover, or blue "war paint." I forgot how much fun catching these fish on light tackle was! The picture is not so good, but it was dark and this was the best I could do.

• This was the first (and bigger) of the two Smallmouth I managed to boat. Despite the looks, (he bled quite a bit, I think due to gill damage) I was able to release him safely. For the billionth time, those Tequila Sunrise Power Worms produced all of the action.
• I made two trips to Manning Lake, but only managed to catch one smallmouth on the first night. Like all smallmouth, he was a spectacular fighter for his size! I love catching these fish.
• Towards the end of the day, I caught one last largemouth, a parting gift from manning lake. This guy was caught on the same bait as the smallmouth, and a bit farther north.
• Overall, I caught six smallmouth. A few were small, but most were in the 2 1/2 pound class. It seems witht he warmer water of late the bite is a bit more active, and the fish seem to be fighting harder. I hooked into one fish at the end of a full 40 yard cast, and he fought every step of the way back. Some of these fish went airborne a few times, overall making a nice fight.
• After some hours of frustration on Manning lake with all of my usual baits, I tried something new, a brown senko bait with a fire pink tail rigged on a 2/0 worm hook, no weight attached. Near the rocks themselves, this produced a few little smallmouth. Encouraged, I proceeded a bit southward, fishing between the end of the rocks and the southernmost marker buoy. The next 40 minutes were pure insanity. I caught 5 smallmouth here, and hooked into two more that got away. Some of these fish fought like nothing I've seen, making several power runs, diving, diving, thrashing, and jumping a few times!

• Curious about the trout-like fish I always see swimming by the boat ramp, I tossed in some powerbait on a light rod to see what they were. Turns out, they were some suckers! You know, they fight pretty hard for their size. I'll keep this spot in mind the next time I need some lake trout bait!
