After spending a day crop adjusting near Moses, I drove out to the south end of Soda Lake to drop a line for a couple of hours targeting Smallmouth bass. The walk out to the South end Soda Spillway was a pleasant one, yet I was a little unnerved by the new gang graffiti on the rocks and concrete. I packed a pistol for snakes but also in the back of my mind, being alone could make one a tempting target while hiking in remote areas. Anyway, the fishing was pretty slow to start. I dragged maddog crawfish plastics for a bit with no bites. 3" Kalins grubs got nipped, but with no takers. I even threw a Luhr Jensen Summercraw patterned 1/4 oz crankbait on the southside of the dam for a while with no hits. I finally started catching some 11 to 13" smallies on a Berkley dropshot minnow in Emerald shiner rigged 10" off the bottom. My biggest bass which was around 16" took a brown/blue Robo worm dropshotted in the shade of the concrete eddy. I think I hooked a nice rainbow judging silver flash of the fish. She was only on for a few seconds before she came unbuttoned...the skeeters got pretty thick so I picked up after releasing my last bass. I love the Potholes area...I just wish some people would leave their spray paint at home. The Jigmiester
