SethB Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 7" slammer, 316 wake jr. and rising son have both put some decent smallmouth in my boat and are excellent night options. SWIMBO and gradycodd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcatfish Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I don't know what parker strip is but smallies in MO rivers seem to be big fans of little boogers rigged standard line through or with a Buckeye swimbait jig head Tbernz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derds126 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 7 inch Slammer, Cali Swim Jig with at least a 5 inch trailer, 6-7 inch soft baits(hudd 68, osprey, RP Alewife), and smaller glides have all worked well for me both day and night. I typically stay around 6 or 7 inches to match the shad in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chompot Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Have fun. That place is ripe with big smallmouth. The strip is arguably the best out west for smallies. I have never focused on swimbaits in there so I cant help you there. Edited July 8, 2015 by chompot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinHill Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Well didnt catch any fish but managed to get my bait hung up then slipped and fell in the water trying to get it free. Then dank a little too much and puked all over...the end. NorCalBass and jhoozie1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallyc Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Haha never thought i could get too drunk to fish. But it happend. We'd love to have you along on our next Massachusetts Cod,Haddock trip. We call guy's like you "Chummers". You don't have false teeth do you ? I've seen them go over the side of a charter boat a couple times...good luck out there & remember, there's always spring water. waynem and JustinHill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derds126 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) 4th of July weekend I did the opposite lol. Didn't plan on fishing that weekend but it's hard to keep away. I was up at a friends cabin on a trout stream. A group of us were sitting by the fire and around midnight you could hear trout start slurping the mayflies, stumbled to the house, grabbed a fly rod and started fishing. Fly casting in the pitch black was an interesting experience. No ralphing for me though haha Edited July 18, 2015 by derds126 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
