summer nights...

A recap of the weekends fishing. I've been having some luck right in the middle of the night, like 3 or 4 in the morning catching hybrids in the river. On Vic's Proswim fished on a heavy half ounce jig head in the fastest water I can find. Which of course makes the exceptionally hard fighting stripes seem like freight trains when they hammer your swimbait and take off on a run in heavy current. I also snuck out for an hour right in the middle of the heat of the day and managed to catch a nice smallie. Those same super fast riffles that hold hybrids in low light conditions often hold a nice smallie smack dab in the middle of the day. Fast highly oxygenated water is a magnet for any smallmouth that takes a notion to feed once things settle into a summertime routine.
