My name is Eric. I just joined the site. I used to fish as a kid, then didn't fish for a long time until my son was around 5 or 6 years old. Now he is 17 years old, and I have been fishing frequently for 11 years. I mostly catch largemouth bass, pickerel, crappie, bluegill. I got into trout fishing from the shore with powerbait a couple of years ago. I love trout, they are really beautiful fish. I never caught a smallmouth bass. Does anyone have tips? Good locations and lures to catch a smallmouth? I would appreciate any help. THANKS!!
