Smallie best lures?

Doc Lyon!

I have enjoyed your book immensely this summer! Thank you very much. Much of it rings true to me, and I find myself nodding and saying "uh-huh...yep...that's right!" more often than I can relate. What a wonderful tome, and one I am going make sure is read by many family members.

BTW -- regarding smallie baits -- this summer we had more luck with the plastic helgies in a Texas rig. Lots of nice bass in Tuftonboro who wanted NOTHING to do with the live crawfish (which, by the way, we're still catching by the dozen in the trap with some meat bones and heads and finding und er rocks along the shores), and, for once in the my 40+ year angling Winni, I couldn't sell a jitterbug at any time of day.

That being said, I sure saw some fine smallies while diving this year.

If you can't catch 'em, blow some bubbles with 'em...

Thanks again for the great read!
