This morning while fishing the Mississippi. I was getting low on the crawler supply. So I started using the abundant grasshoppers as bait. I have used hoppers before and did well for smallmouth bass and catfish. Well today Evey hopper that went into an eddie got bit. People going by in canoes must have thought I'd lost it. Dancing around and Jumping tring to catch more grass hoppers. Caught mostly smallmouth bass. But a few small carp took hoppers too. Medium sized ones seemed to work best on a size 4 "J" hook.

roughfishing at it's finest
