Hopspunge is. Pretty much all lake run smallmouth now in the tributaries here. Unless you like to go inland and catch small browns. I usually just fish lakerun stuff till it gets too warm. Then I take a break from fishing in the summertime. Unless I go out on a friend boat. Ther's a monsoon happening in western NY now. So everything is blown out. I will take a few pics of the smallies next time I go out. You will be shocked at how big some get. Because of the zebra mussles they eat I think. ..
HopSpunge The smallies in great lakes and tribs have gotten huge over the last 10 year or so once they discovered they liked the round goby. Especially in lake Erie and Huron. Same with the walleye. Any thing that resembles a goby in color and or shape is the ticket. Please post pics when you have them.
The summer run steelies in Michigan will start to appear in next few weeks. They are always large, hungry, and fight harder than just about anything
