We rented a cabin up in the mountains for 3 days in Lake Lure North Carolina met up with my wife’s sisters family down from Indiana for X-mas. My wife’s Highlander was jam packed with the 4 of us and the 2 dogs, I squeezed a couple of 2 piece 6’ spinning rods, a few baits and a pair of pliers just in case… so one morning the girls decided to go to a spa and my brother in law and his boys went hiking… so me and Ben got dropped off at the Broad River at 9:30 AM and we were told they would be back at 12:30 to pick us up. No Boat, No Wadders, never put my eyes on that stretch of the Broad River… looks like old school bank fishing for 3 hours. Scouted out a wide deep hole, if they here this is where they we be. First cast a MINI KABOOM, about a 10” Smallie hit my Mepps In Line Spinner… 3 casts later another MINI KABOOM then KABOOM 15” and then KABOOM for Ben for a 17” smallie (lousy pix of Ben’s Fish) Best part of the day was at 12:30 when the girls picked us up… how did you do? “Dad caught the most but I caught the biggest”… I had a flashback to that same conversation many many years ago with many trips with my Dad who got me hooked on fishing.. my Dad passed away a couple years ago… Merry Christmas Dad

Awesome catching Duck. There's nothing better than scoring on 100% unknown water, especially with my favorites, Smallies! Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and yours.

Great story and pics Duck! Better yet the memories it brought back and the memories it made!!
Your morning was time well spent, and it looks in your pictures like it was a pleasant place to be whether they were biting or not!
