Mark Jonas Hey Mark!  Yeah I know the big bass are here, I think they are hiding deeper in the water column or something. I’ve seen guys pull some absolute giants out of our local waters.  I too just fished my first by weight 5 fish tournament on 4/20.  It was a lot of fun!  Good luck to you on May 11th!  Checking slot limits on a lake is a unique approach, that could pan out really well for you to find some giants!  Let us know how your tournament on 5/11 goes.  

Ashley Rae Nice!  Ontario has some of my favorite fishing.  Grew up in Buffalo, NY and have fished the Kingston area many times.  Now my new favorite has become Lake of the Woods Ontario.  

Welcome!  Where is your home lake?

Since we’re dreaming, I’ll take a Donzi 38’ with twin Mercury 600hp.  

Brian Latimer I’ve actually never tried cranking for Smallies.  But I use those other two religiously.  

Brian Latimer I’ll have to put that on my list to try. 

Sorry, I’m just blowing this up…do you have any bucket list lakes you want to visit and fish?

What are trailering a boat longer distances and the things you do to prepare, repair, or prevent breakdowns and issues?

What are your go-to smallmouth baits and areas to fish?

I need to learn how to find bigger bass.  Largemouth and Smallmouth.  I feel like on my local lakes I can catch 1.5# all day but rarely come across anything 3lb or bigger.  But I know they’re out there!
