I started on the left shore line and was hoping to catch a few on the bluegill beds on those sand flats. I did have 2 hits on top doing that.
I cut across and worked off the main point.
There was some stringy sand grass off the main point.
I wanted to hit an offshore rock pile but a nice young man was on it and did well there.
There was some grass and cabbage by the beach but not as much as I remember, but I don’t fish here enough to really judge.
The smallmouth are few and far between in there but they seem to be healthy when you get one.

nice report. good to see that there are still smallies in Crystal. I will catch them in the spring time drifting shiners for trout. The lake is deep enough at 50+ feet to hold the smallies when the summer heat sets in.

Jon,

Nice outing. Nice small mouth. With regards to the cars with out trailers in the boat lot; it could very well be yaks or people using the area for other purposes. I went out there in December of 2020 and the lot was jammed. There was one boat with one passenger on the lake which accounts for the the truck and trailer and possibly one car. I highly suspect the locals are using it as a "parking area". It could easily be confirmed by an officer running the plates. If it is as I suspect, they should be heavily fined.

Thats a decent lake and I have had some good days out there, but forget it on the weekends! Nice work figuring out the smallie! They are in there!
