Topwater smallmouth North of King's Island
Message:
Bill and I fished just above King's Island yesterday from 6:00am to 1:30pm and had an absolute blast with a topwater river smallmouth bite. I was working a Sammy 100 and Bill was using a jitterbug and the smallies were all over both lures, in less than 3 feet of water. We also caught on tubes and senkos. I had smallies punching my Sammy 2-3 feet out of the water on missed strikes. Most of the fish were average size with some 3 pounders getting in on the action as well. I am always amazed at how awesome river smallies are. They hit hard and just don't stop until you get them in the boat. Lots of jumps out of the water trying to head shake the lures loose, some of which were successful, but still crazy fun to see! I figured we'd catch them on tubes but the topwater action was a real treat. -Eric

Kings Island smallies
Message:
Eric I agree, river smallies are a blast. How do you access the Kings Island area with a boat? It looks like the launch near the island is too shallow for anything with a motor. Is there Bill
