The other day I went down to the reservoir with my five foot ultralight spinning rod, armed with a 1/16 ounce single blade rooster tail spinner and 4 pound test line. I was fishing a shoreline the had a sharp 90 degree bend. On one side of the bend, the bottom was sandy, and on the other side of the bend, the bottom had rocks and boulders. The wind was blowing at about 15 mph straight into the center of this bend, causing a chop to build up. Since I was using such light tackle, I had to stand on the rocky shoreline, cast straight out, and the wind would carry my spinner down to my right, toward the sandy bottom. The water was about 5-8 ft deep. I would let the spinner sink for about 3 seconds and then begin a medium paced retrieve. When the spinner reached the area where the sandy and rocky bottom met, I was getting strikes almost every cast. Since I was using such light tackle, and the spinner had a tiny treble hook. I ended up missing some fish. Overall I ended up catching 8 smallies, with the biggest weighing about two pounds. On ultralight tackle, you really have to play these fish. I think the changing bottom structure, and the wind blowing the baitfish, into this bend, provided the ideal conditions for a great day of smallmouth fishing.
