Started off at Falls village,
I knew it was going to be very nice day when the second cast got me a nice 13" Smallie here is a pic.

Then a few minutes later

And yet another one

And after a few runt bass and rock bass I saw a pike so I switched to a white zoom fluke and guess what

It was bigger then the picture shows a very nice 25" pike.

All in all after a few different spots all of which produced bass and a few smaller pike. If I was to guess at numbers 30-40 Smallies and 3 pike

he funny thing was at least 15 of the Smallies was better then 13" but the biggest was a very fat 17"

3/0 hooks, is Sunday better for you? I can go Sunday instead and I have a ton of plastics. Also today SLOW was the key slower I moved the bait the better. in that pool by the power plant there are a ton of Smallies and Pike.
