Bob Downey
Lake Oahe (SD)
Bob Downey reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Tubes technique and Daiwa Tatula LT Spinning Reel - EOL on Lake Oahe. Additional comments from this report: "Main lake points in 20-35ft with some sort of irregularity and bait present were key. I'd see fish and activity in the area with Humminbird Mega Live. If I couldn't get those fish to bite I'd back off and make long casts with the tube. I'd crack the tube back through those fish and seem to get more bites than targeting individual fish. "

TheHautdoors reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Tubes technique and KastKing Kestrel 1000 SFS Spinning Reel on Green Lake (WI). Additional comments from this report: "This was a fun trip many smallies were caught between her and her brother. They learned a lot and the rock piles kept producing fish for about an hour straight lots of fish were caught and then when the bite shut off we moved to docks and skipped senkos for largies. They had a great memorable day on the water. "
