With a 1/8oz NED head, Working the 6-10 depths where the aquatic vegetation separates the rocky flats from the drop offs. Some fish were on the shallow side, some were on the deep side. Tried cranks, CB’s, and others, they only wanted the NED worm with a dark top and light belly.

This lake is loaded with small smallmouth bass. To find the bigger ones you must go around fishing the deep humps and that is where the big ones will be.

Burning a blade over rock bars turned our best fish. Needed to trigger a reaction bite in the afternoon. The higher the sun was the better the bite got. Saw plenty of fish but most were negative even when pitching smaller baits at them.

Overcast day with a breeze. Started on deeper structure... points, humps, steep breaks and caught a pile of small fish in 18-30ft of water on ned rigs and drop shots just about anywhere I went. Found bigger fish up on top of the shallow rocks in 2-6ft on water. Lots of 2-3lb fish with some 4's mixed in. Most of the better fish hit a pencil popper. Walking it aggressively was best. Not so much speed but getting the most out of each twitch so the bait would thrash to each side triggered fish to bite. The ned rig also put some good fish in the kayak.
