Very nice little smallies... I have never fished flippin' jigs. I almost always use crank baits. Flippin' is something i gotta start trying. It's too slow for me

Nice fish! 75% of the time they hit it on the drop so lighten your jigs this time of year to slow the drop rate.....

I had one CRUSH one on the Ottawa, flipped in and the line just kept going! LOL!..That was awsome!

and 3lbs+ for a smallie is EXCELLENT..don't knock it!

Good job, I have caught a few smallies in the slop, particularly in the downtown portions of the rideua river.
