Ended up fishing rock piles on the lake, throwing the free rig technique with the Geecrack Bellows Gill. Was able to stick a couple of good ones. Just outside the money!

Largemouth Bass on sunny or mid day are in shady and covered areas. Focus on docks, wood pilings, or any place of shade. Flip, skip, cast, etc into these high key areas with a jig to catch some fish. Put on a Berkley Chigger Craw to give it more water displacement for the fish to find it easier. I caught my fish off of a creek from Lake Erie and the water was more stained in this area. Hope this helps you to catch some Bass.

Smallmouth are keying in on small baitfish like emerald shiners, gobies, etc. I was using a 3" hazedong in Goby. This was even trumping the Berkley Flat Worm which was surprising since I tend to always catch fish with the Flat Worm. Focus on areas with a big drop off or humps.
