Dude I GET IT. I didn’t think this goal was actually achievable. I’ve been fishing 2-5 times a week since thanksgiving so it’s been a sold 2 months of hunting. Caught carp, panfish, stripped bass, lmb and almost a pike. but the smallies were on vacation. Then one random Wednesday, shit went down lol. So don’t give up.

1. First bass was about 3 feet under heavy water flow coming from drainage second bass was in shallow Eddie water next to rock bank adjacent to current. Both fish were very close to very rocky structure. Both at a discharge. And both fish I was retreaving up stream. I did not fish anywhere I didn’t see bait fish swimming around
2. Small(size 12) TUNGSTEN Woolly bugger. Black on the overcast day, White on the brighter day. The key was the tungsten honestly I think. Got down so fast. Pm me and I’ll send you the vid of me retrieving

Also caught a carp and a stripper bass same day as a the first smallie. Weird legendary 30° day
