Went to Pa. Saturday to try my hand at smallmouths. Never fished in Pa before and never really targeted smallmouths specifically. Have caught a few little ones in the years past but nothing decent. The fall bite was on for sure. I caught close to 30 fish with my biggest being just over 17" but really fat. I had an absolute blast and am hooked on smallies forever. Most of my fish were caught on soft jerkbaits, but picked up a few on spinnerbaits, and some bottom bouncing jigs. Had a beautiful first trip. Broke in my new Kayak big time.

Nice fish.
I love smallie fishing but haven't done much in the past two years. I love how they spend almost as much time out of the water as in it during a fight.

Nice smallies. One of these years, I will get a PA license and give it a try.
This year so far, I have bought short-term licenses in FL, TX, and AK. It sure would be nice to be able to get a national fishing license that would carry over from state to state.John Veil
