RE: Smallmouth
Thanks guys - I would have to say this fish was in the neighborhood of 15-18 inches - a definte 15 for sure - I did not measure the fish - wish I would have but it is a good smallie - caught on Lake Bellaire in Northern Michigan - Very clear water 10 feet to the bottom - drifting in the wind with a tube in about 20-25 foot of water - quess - no trolling motor or depth finder just watching the other fisherman -first time on the lake - I would like to do some serious fishing on that fishery!

RE: Smallmouth
Hey, M.T.Hands - That is a tee-golf shirt - tournament that I participated in last year! That is a Lowerance in dash X22A - I have a Humminbird Wide 100 up front - I'm not into the GPS tech yet - The guages are white with Red light background and yes I fish Barkley mostly - I would like to fish Kentucky more often but do not know the lake as well! I like the in dash Lowerance that I have - it is a very simple model and does the job that I need for it to do - I know there are other high-tec models on the market but money would be an issue!

RE: Smallmouth
bird, i've got an x70 up front and the thing is a real pain in 12' of water and less with grass, the auto senseitvity will not set, lowrance said it was because of the power of the unit/transducer, for 80% of my fishing i believe i would rather have a flasher in the grass, to get an accurate bottom depth and composition reading[&o], oh well just like to hear what others have and like, the gps deal is pretty good, but i have always triangulated off shore spots anyway and never really had that much trouble finding them, gps has really opened the door on "community holes"[:@], with a lot of maps comming with gps cords, well keep catchin'em man, the reason i ask about kentucky and barkley is i always like to keep contacts of different lakes on hand, BTW i live 3.5 miles from guntersville, if you ever need a "heads up"

RE: Smallmouth
- My boat is in storage about 2 minutes from the lake - We live 10 minutes from Barkley - I keep up with some of the pros and areas they fish - Nice tournament on ESPN from Kentucky Lake - like I said, I sure would like to catch some smallmouth - just not familiar with the water at Kentucky Lake - I should be, living this close to that Lake - At Barkley - we are getting a few more smallies - I know a guy that caught a 6 pounder a week ago - that is a big smallie for Barkley!I went north about 3 weeks ago - fishedLake Bellaire - When I asked the local guy at theMarina about smallmouth - he avoided the question and talked about Walleye - They look at smallmouth like we would look at a drum - could not believe it - Oh well! I will post other pics if I am lucky enought! Oh - we don't have the grass problems - not yet? I appreciate the heads up - you too if your ever in this area!
