Brown Fish below the Chick on 12-24

[bass15]

Fished for about 2.5 hrs. from 2 until 4:30. Caught 2 smallies one 4.82 and another about 2lbs.. The only other fish boated was a healthy Drum about 12 or 15 pds. We lost 2 others , but I think only one was a Smallmouth. P.S. Please use circle hooks all the time when using live bait . It's very hard to get used to NOT setting the hook, but it's worth it . Every fish that I catch is in the corner of the mouth , every time. Please take care of our very special fishery. Every fish that you gut hook ,has a far less than average chance of making it. All fish were released unharmed , except the drum that I rubuked for a second or two for eating my lure.
