Wasson Lake Area?

[chaseub]

I will be taking a week long trip up to Wasson lake over the 4th. I have never fished this area before and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the area. I will mainly be targeting smallmouth and largemouth. I am from the north metro so I don't get to fish for smallmouth very often. I will not be keeping any fish over my trip. Any tips would be much appreciated. Also any other lakes in the area that are good fishing? I plan on fishing everyday that week. Thank you in advance. I cant wait to get up there.

If I remember right wasson is around the raddison chain? If so you're in for a treat. I use to fish raddison quite a bit for smallies and largemouth. Never fished wasson. In raddison just head to a good cabbage bed and work the deep edges with cranks or a Texas/Carolina rig. Towards evening/morning they'll come up shallow and you'll have fun with unweighted senkos, flukes or xraps. Have fun! Also, there's some nice pike in those lakes. I still wouldn't use a leader cuz it'll mess up the lures presentation but if the bass aren't biting throw a spinnerbaits over those same cabbage beds.
