Caleb Lieffring reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Sunline Super FC Sniper on Lake Pepin. Additional comments from this report: "Water temperature was 77 degrees. Most of the bass caught were in 2-8 ft of water. Bigger bass were caught on swimbaits. Ned rigs caught a higher quantity of bass but most were small. "

Katherine Field reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Sunline Super FC Sniper on Pool 8 Mississippi River. Additional comments from this report: "Just finished in the top 10 for the Hobie Bass Open Series, focusing mainly on smallmouth. In pool 8 I focused on dredged ditches that had a deep drop off, near sand/grass flats, with lots of current. Smallmouth are flushing shad up on the flats from these drop offs onto the shallow flats. Cast a spark shad on a light okashira screwhead and let that bait work across the shallows, and over the drop off. Smallies will be sitting on the ledge and crushing that bait on the fall."

plymouthfishingnick reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Sunline Super FC Sniper on West Lake Okoboji. Additional comments from this report: "20+ fow, deep rock transitions. Dragging slow / deadstick. Water temps were 38-40"

Kevin Langlands reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Lake Charlevoix. Additional comments from this report: "As the ice states to finally melt, the smallmouth have moved up closer to the 10-30 foot range feeding on Alewife. These fish are constantly moving chasing bait but when you find one you'll find more. Keep bait in the middle of the water column and reel bait in at a slow retrieve."

Will Niebrugge reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Kentucky Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Kentucky Lake isn’t dead yet! Had a fun day throwing a swimmer around, and catching a lot of fish doing it. All you need to do is get you some booty shakers and go! "

Bearded Beast reported catching Spotted Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Seaguar InvizX 100% Fluorocarbon on Carters Lake. Additional comments from this report: "We focused on areas where the clay bank was ending and rocks started as well as lay downs about mid way back towards the creeks. Bait was sitting on the edge of the drop offs with the bass under them. Cast the bait up to the bank and let it hit the bottom. Begin slowly reeling the bait in allowing it to stay in contact with the bottom. Water Clarity - 10” Water Temp - 50° Wind - 12-15mph "

Jack Griffith reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Mississippi River - Champlin to Coon Rapids. Additional comments from this report: "switched things up a bit earlier in this week. For a stretch of time, I was exclusively throwing a mini chatter bait and it was working well for me. We caught a ton of fish on that bait and my buddy kept throwing the mini chatter and caught the biggest smallie of the day on the mini chatter bait. I like to experiment with various baits to keep in my back pocket on tougher days. I wanted to try a different technique to see if I could get a bite going. I was throwing a zoom super fluke in pearl white, and that bait was hammering fish. I was rigging the fluke upside down so the hook pocket on the belly of the bait hid the hook point a bit. I wasn't worried about snagging on things so I didn't want to Texas rig the bait to prolong its life a little more. The great thing about this bait was its ability to skip under just about anything and not get snagged up. With this rig I was able to get my casts real deep under brush and trees up close to the bank and that's where a lot of my bites came off from. Many lures wouldn't be able to get back to the corners I was able to hit which I feel made this bait really shine in some locations. "

Brad Novak reported catching Walleye using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Petenwell Lake. Additional comments from this report: "The water was around 55 degrees and the walleye's were staged just off the deep parts of ledges that are next to shallow flats where they spawn. Dragging a small 3" soft tail swimbait on a 1/4oz head did the trick. I made long casts and waited for the bait to hit the bottom. Then I would reel slowly to keep the bait low with added pauses to make sure I was keeping contact with the bottom. "

Walleye Sly reported catching Walleye using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Sufix 832 Braid on Lake Red Rock. Additional comments from this report: "I landed this 10lb - 29” hog beneath the damn using a 1/4 jig head and 3” ripple shad. I was dragging across rocks using a super slow retrieval with 5-10 second pauses. "
