Notes

Very tough smallmouth fishing, as water was a little high and a little muddier than usual. Had 3-4 bass grab my tube sitting behind mid river ledge rocks. Had a few more swipe at tube on top.
Downsized to small chartuse inline spinner and caught 2 smallies and other fish in last 40 minutes around islands
