- Species
Smallmouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructurePointsThe water temperature was hovering around 50 up shallow, but the fish had not moved up yet. Only a single here or there and most of the fish remained off the breaks into deeper water outside flats and on the main lake. Slow crawl near bottom with the occasional twitch to trigger them.
- Species
Yellow PerchTechniqueLive Bait RigsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationFound a big school of good perch over 10"s using fatheads targeting the best remaining live grass. I would rig a drop shot setup and pull the weight into a weed line and the perch would come over and eat the minnow right on the grass edge while the weight was hung up.
- Species
WalleyeTechniqueBlade BaitsSeasonFallStructureBaitfishWe found some active birds and walleye were underneath the schools of little perch. Hopping blades or swimbaits off the bottom and then letting them fall was the key.

Largemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureReedsLargemouth were holding very tight to newly green reeds in maybe a foot of stained water. My derby partner was also catching them in the same areas with a Texas rigged creature bait of a similar size and color. It felt like they were hitting it on the fall. You would lift up and there would be weight and your line would swim away.
