Hey Y'all,
Who out there has gone on a Smallmouth bass fishing trip out of state?
Was it enjoyable, and would you do it again?
Is anyone interested in a fishing trip like this?
Would love to hear some thoughts on this!

I'm following this one. One of the bucket list trips for me. I would love to go somewhere and catch countless 2-5 pound smallmouths all day

Water is gin clear, site fishing ... A couple buddies of mine up in CT go there every spring and the pics are amazing... one of my bucketlist items as well.

I'm from MI, great smallmouth lakes there, but nothing like what I see in MN. We go up to lake vermilion every year at the end of June, early July. We fish for walleye, and when the walleye bite stops mid-morning we switch to smallmouth and catch as many as we feel like in the 2-6lb range. It's crazy. Far ways from here but lodging isn't too expensive. We stay at everett bay lodge and the owners are great.

Were headed to Mille Lacs this summer and plan to hit a couple other lakes as well. Really excited to try our hand at some small mouth!

Lots of places I would recommend, the very last would be Mille Lacs. It's been pounded to absolute death. If you really want an incredible trip, I'd recommend the boundary waters. It would be adventure and guaranteed smallmouth until your arm falls off. It's not for olds though.

Table Rock in Missouri can fish this way if you time it right. In fact, I'm headed there for a week in the middle of May.

Hit the SM spawn on Delaney Lake first of June last year. Buddy and I caught 101 in 6 hrs on fly rods. Average fish 18 in. Smallest 15 and largest 20 1/2. Fly in lodge, meals and guides furnished
Some people go to church and think about fishing. Some go fishing and think about God.
