Little Miami Jeff

April 7th 2007

Well, Smack talk'n once again, met up w/Dave Ogborn from Portsmouth, OH today. Dave was kind enough to introduce me to Mark Browning, owner of Ol' Dad's Outdoor Store in Portsmouth. After showing Mark the Gizz4, Dave took me down to Greenup dam. Hybrids were in and out, I caught 3 of 4 hook ups. Dave caught about the same, maybe one or two more. Water was muddy, and it was COLD and windy, but the water was still warm enough for the wipers. Biggest was 22", next to it was 19".

After a decent afternoon with Jeff yesterday at the Ohio River Greenup Locks, I decided to dress a little warmer and go again today. Only caught 23, 14 of which were on a blue Gizz. what a lure. I was even bringing one in and another tried to steal it from the 6 lber I was landing. So it looks like they are starting to get in the aggressive mode. Went to Portsmouth to fish the Scioto River after that and the White bass were hitting the white Gizz. BIG white bass. 3 whites and 6 more hybrids there. A good day. By the way, they practically ripped my rod from my hands. That's how hard they hit it.

I now have a new favorite Smallmouth lure, the Gizz4. The weather here this past Saturday was so bad that there was no use in getting up before daylight in pursuit of my favorite fish; the striper. The temperature wasn’t that bad (in the low 30’s) but the wind was howling with gusts of over 30mph and the skies were bluebird as could be so I just slept in for a change. I called my fishing partner after lunch and convinced him to hit one of the Smallmouth rivers. He finally shows up at about 4:00 and we still have a 30 minute ride to the river. At this point, I’m thinking we are just wasting time.

We finally get the boat in the water with about an hour and a half of daylight left. The water was higher than normal and borderline muddy; very murky to say the least. I tie on the Gizz4 and my buddy ties on a crawfish plug. I chose the Gizz4 because it has a larger profile, tons of flash and runs at about the right depth for the water we are fishing. We cast for about 10 minutes without a bite before the Gizz gets slammed, or should I say “Smacked”. It’s a good two pounds or better. We keep drifting and I put 3 more good quality Smallies in the boat. At this point, my buddy is digging in his box and trying different plugs before he finally hooks up with a Smallie. To make a long story short, he did manage to catch up with me in numbers but not in quality.

With about 30 minutes of daylight left, we are both casting the Gizz4 and put another dozen really good quality Smallies in the boat. Our technique was simple, we just cranked it down to the bottom slowly and then we worked it slowly, throwing in some jerk bait action occasionally. All in all, we put 30 fish in the boat under less than ideal conditions and the biggest ones were all 2 – 4lbs.

My son and I fished an Annual Wiper Tournament on Saturday June 14th, it was started 6 years ago and we have fished each one. We have never finished very well, until yesterday. We fished with the Gizz-3 and all I can say is " OH MY GOD ". We have never ever caught as many Wipers as we did using the Gizz-3 yesterday, We could not believe how hard the lures were being hit. We were using planer Boards with them and the lures were hit so hard that Boards were were totally submerged when hit. It was so exciting to get a hit, You guys have created a KILLER Wiper Lure.

We were using the Blue/Blackback, Green/ Blackback, and the Chartruse was best early in the morning. The results of our day with the Gizz-3 was a 3rd Place finish overall and Biggest Wiper of the Tournament at 4lbs. 20 1/2 inches long. Thank you for your support and I am now TALKING SMACK.

Thank You!
