More Bass

We caught a great bunch of bass on the St Lawrence this morning many were over 16" also caught a nice pike.

Great looking smallies.... I've caught them in the St.Lawrence in deeper channels about 40ft down on the bottom still fishing with drop sinkers (bells) using nightcrawlers... they seemed 2 b competing with nice American eels, as you were not sure which had your bait till they got to within 10-15ft of the surface. The eels would b pulling hard but did not "run" so much and the smallies would. Reason being that the eels would almost always wrap themselves in a tangled ball with the line....They both put up great fights all the way into the boat....both would have lots of energy, but the smallies could channel it into more of a fight than just a struggle....(if that makes any sense !)

Yep we use to catch many in water up to 100 feet and caught some eels as well. I haven't hit any eels in a while. So many gobies I never use worms anymore but the bass love them and grow big.

what do you use for the smallies, to keep the gobies off. live bait. thanks

Artificals mostly. Gobies will gobble up live worms
