Spring Smallie Trip with Jeff from Burly Fishing

If, each year on New Year’s Day, you had to place bets on whether or not you were going to have a good day of Smallie fishing in March in Michigan, you’d lose…A LOT!

Sure, the days are longer. We’ll get a taste of spring here and there, and maybe even pull some shorts out of the drawer a couple times. But, the water is still generally cold, and the fish, lethargic.

Jeff and I went out for a quick trip last week, knowing the odds weren’t in our favor. Water temp was about 44 deg, and it was in the mid 20’s the night before. That means most of the fish were going to still be in winter’s coma, belly-in-the-dirt, in the bottom of a deep hole. That’s when I like to remind clients “we’re just looking for the stupidest fish in the river.”

Jeff runs BURLY FISHING. His youtube channel has about 15k subscribers where they review all kinds of conventional bass fishing tackle. They also put on a weekly podcast every thursday evening called the Burly Fishing Podcast. So, Jeff was going to be fishing with conventional tackle, while I toss out a few streamers on the fly rod. It’s an unlikely pairing, but this is exactly the kind of unity our country needs right now.
