Smallmouth BassTechniqueTubesSeasonSummerStructureBouldersThey were blasting off the bottom to it about 8-15 ft deep then track it to the bottom were it became a waiting game the larger ones 3-4 lbs would stare at it for 30-40 seconds and them smoke it

Finding the largest rocks and flipping in the shadows produced the best on this overcast day
- SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureBaitfish
Smallmouth can be found offshore on deep rock humps and flats offshore. Don't assume they are associated with just rock, some of the biggest can be found associated with large schools of perch on deeper flats between 25-30' with no defined structure nearby. Ready your drop shot and hold on.

Smallmouth were on rock piles and scattered on the flats between piles. Drift off of piles and drag Ned rigs and drop shots
- SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureBaitfish
Some smallmouth right now are still on beds, others have shifted to a post-spawn pattern. I found some post-spawners in the deep water next to their spawning areas chasing baitfish. Cast your drop shot around the baitfish to find some post-spawners right now.

Largemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBouldersThey weren’t big today but a lot of fun still dragging very slow they didn’t want it remotely fast
- SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueFinesse Hair JigsSeasonFallStructureRock Pile
Smallies are moving shallow! Find transitional areas where sand/rock/weeds meet on points or back in bays and keep the trolling motor on high while searching for fish. Once you find a group use a combination of finesse techniques, drop shots and hair jigs, to fire the school up. Easy catching once you find the fish!
Jason GaulrappBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureDocksThe majority of the Largemouth have made their way back into the bays with the warmest water and are either holding tight to structure right on the bank(Docks, Laydowns) or are sitting right off the first break waiting to pull up. Flip structure with jigs & T-Rigs and cover the break with swim jigs and/or chatterbaits.
