Som and I went to the Potholes Reservoir and fished it Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday was tough with heavy winds and big waves, but we managed 6 smallies. We were 1 of 2 boats on the lake that day. It was brutal. On Wednesday the weather was nicer, but started out cold and windy. Som managed 2 smallies and 1 nice largie. I managed 2 smallies, a 4.8lb largie and an 8lb walleye that was caught on a jig. It was tough sight fishing with the winds, but did catch 3 of the smallmouths caught were off a protected flat off beds...all males. Best 5 on Wednesday went 18.8lbs.
