Month: August Weather: Bright with some clouds, 5-7 mph out of the southwest, 80s-90s Water Temp: 74-78 Depths: Rocky flats and points in 8-16' near deeper water. I launch out of the Chaumont Bay state launch in Chaumont around 4:30 PM. I used Navionics and my side imaging to identify large rocks/boulders to fish near drop offs. I initially found some smallies drifting the edges of large boulders/rocky area just outside of Duck Bay and hooked/landed a couple nice fish drop shotting on the Berkley Flat Worm in black. Action was inconsistent, so as the evening progressed, I moved to the deeper end of Independence Point and after that Johnson Shoal. These locations provided steady action, producing multiple fish over 4 pounds and several fish in the 3+ lbs. range on the drop shot with an Erie Darter in Smoke Purple twitched back to the boat. Dark Sleepers in Mutsugorou also produced a couple fish. It was a great initial trip out on Chaumont Bay.

Fishing humps and rock piles anywhere between 6-20 in relation to grass. I think they liked the small profile tube.
