Hi Larry;
I have twice run into this senario, on two different lakes.
Huge smallmouth suspended over deep water, lightly tea stained too gin clear.They're feeding on tiny, almost transparent minnows on top.
They are coming up and gently rowling on the bait, but you can see they are monsters, we are freaking out in the boat!
We have thrown every thing at them big and small.
I thinking fly rod, inexpensibe combo around 150bucks just for these fish.
Am I barking up the right tree?
What rod/reel/fly combo would you recomend.
