I made another trip to Banks Lake recently. This time I was looking for smallmouth bass. I have been going to Banks for years, but I hadn’t done a Fishing TV show on the smallmouth fishing there. Joining me on this excursion was Joe Arballo and his wife Roberta. Joe has taken me along on several jaunts to Banks Lake, and has really taught me a lot about bass fishing over the years. Apparently he has also taught his wife quite a bit about bass fishing, too, because she caught the first fish and the biggest of the day. We started out north of Steamboat Rock and fished a couple of the canyons there. We were into fish the whole time. Roberta was using the smoke pearl blue Senko and never changed all day. She didn’t need to. She caught fish on it everywhere we went. Joe and I experimented and caught fish on a variety of lures, from Hula Grubs to crank baits. We ended up fishing the shore that is just south of Barker Flats, and that’s where Roberta caught her big boy. It was a ton of fun, and I want to remind everyone to pound down the liquids in the hot weather.
