Drag a football jig around rock piles. If you can bump into rocks they hammer it. Also a dropshot if they’re finicky
Omnia Community MemberBronze AmbassadorSpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureLedgesA struggle for us. Few fish caught in a vast body of water. Fought windy conditions with constant south west wind. Coverd Chamout and Henderson bay in 4 days. lots of miles. The few we caught were large with a 6.4 lb as the big smallmouth. Drop shot on the most dramatic ledges was the best for us.

SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSummerStructureBouldersTargeted boulders and the deep side of large rock drop offs around Duck Bay. Caught fish on top waters, jerk baits, drop shots, jigs, tubes, and Carolina rigs, but the biggest price was Ned rigs being fished slowly right next to the biggest rocks/dropoffs.
