Late July was pretty tough in the way of finding larger smallmouth. We caught a lot of smallmouth on Ned rigs and dropshots, although most were one pound or less besides a couple 1.5 pounders. We were able to pull up two nice smallmouth over 2.5 pounds dragging tubes DEEP. I’m talking 20-30 feet of water dredging the bottom. Tubes were custom goby colors close to green pumpkin.
