Merry Christmas. I remember spearing whitefish in Munising Bay on Christmas Eve 1976. It was cold and ice was forming. We had to move the scree aside with the spear so we could see the fish. We used a Coleman lantern and I rowed the boat backwards. Sometimes I would row all night. There are some really good waterproof lights and trolling motors available now. I can't imagine how much better that would be. My wife loved whitefish and we went whenever the wind was down. I hope you had calm water and schools of fish. That would be an exciting episode.

@jimfromm3981 It was DEAD still wind and there were some small schools of fish. I speared three myself. It was a very interesting experience.

I find gold double willow blades work great for smallmouth spinnerbait fishing. Body color is solid white or white/ chartreuse.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@johnporter9597 I just don't use them very often. I probably should though!

thanks john /Benjamin

I believe the red lure you showed us is the Cannonball Jr. Yes, there is a full size Cannonball that's about twice the size- and Muskies eat em. The Specific Lures I referred to (Dr Evil and Fat Bastard) are much smaller and better suited for the water you fish. There is also one called the Lil Basstard that is just a few inches long and designed for Smallmouth and Multi-species. I think they would (all 3) work well in your rivers

[@HaightsWanderings]

I use the Lil Basstard frequently. I do like that one!

43:22 I like higher water it concentrates fish out of the current
