Favorite Fishing Day of 2017

Last year brought many fabulous fishing days in many different settings. My favorite day, though, had to be the one I spent with Doug Teel of Northridge Outfitters on Maine's Penobscot River catching smallies at a sometimes fevered pace. We started at 100, counted down to zero, and left with the fish still biting. I told the whole story at the time on Rebellures.com.

Our top producing lures that day were Rebel Wee-Crawfish, especially in the new Flaming Junebug color. We also caught several fish on top on Baby Torpedoes and Crazy Shads.

Beyond the great bite, a day on the river with Doug is always big fun, and our smallmouth catchfest capped three days of fishing and was part of a super stay at the Northridge Outfitters lodge.
