 | Washington DC Metro Fishermen Just updated my profile pic with a nice shot of a big Shenandoah Smallie I caught a few weeks back.
After reading an article on the NAFC website about Smallie top-water tactics, I decided to give this new technique a try. In the article, which you can find here...http://www.fishingclub.com/magazine...cleid/3049 , Guide Doug Teel talks about how to frustrate big Smallies into coming up and crushing top-water baits.
So I hit the Shenandoah River out of Front Royal, VA, with my buddy Jeremy. We had been on the water for about 10 minutes before the first fish hit. Just like Doug says, I threw the bait into slow flat current and allowed it to drift over fishy ledges and tossed the plug into fishy eddies and let it sit there, which is more difficult to do than one would think. The first fish to hit the bait struck so hard that my line broke before I could even set the hook - I believe this was a freak occurrence since the line broke just below the knot on a Homer Circle knot, which I then modified into a double Homer Circle (If you don’t know this knot and would like to know how to tie it, shoot me a message and I will send instructions). However, he now had my only frog pattern Heddon torpedo in his mouth. I assumed that I would never see this plug again, but the Smallie who looked to be a good 3-4 pounder, was determined to throw the hook. He jumped and jumped again, shaking his head in the classic bass fashion. We had no idea where he would jump next, and had we had a net we may have even tried to anticipate the next jump and grab the fish mid jump - which at this point was going pure bananas. Inevitably the fish did throw the plug and we were able to retrieve it, and it was a good thing we did.
About 10 minutes after our excitement with boomerang plug, Jeremy and I made our way across the river to an area that was begging for some action. I threw the plug upstream at the top of a seam that flowed down in between two g
