Early June with water temps in the low 70s. Found smallmouth in the shallows in the 3-7ft water depth approximately. Pretty much the whole shoreline of the St. Croix can produce a decent smallmouth bite. The shorelines that have the larger rock seem to hold the larger bodied fish. Pitch/cast the tube jig up to the shoreline and work it back to the boat. The fish were hitting from the shoreline to the boat as they were pretty scattered.
