Smith Lake June 1st, 2011 With my son visiting family, that meant more time on the water for me.  So, I figured I would do a little night fishing by myself.  I launched at Hames Marina and fished for bass ‘til dark.  I caught several fish in the 2 to 3 pound range. All came in from 30 feet deep off of shaky heads and drop shot.  I fished shallower but only found small fish. As dark approached I used the last daylight to hit some secondary points for stripe.  I worked an area with two different size scroungers and worked a couple different techniques.  My hummingbird depth finder looked like the 4th of July. With fish from 20-40 feet, I boated three stripe all around ten pounds and had a 20 plus come off by the boat.  After losing the biggest fish, night set in and I headed to the lights to get some crappie for tomorrow's lunch.  I put twenty in the cooler and called it a night. No real monsters, just plenty of pound crappie.  So if you interested in fishing Smith Lake day or night, give me a call.  I can put you on the fish.  Also if you're interested in my 50 off shore structure waypoints give me a call.
