Killer day today. Started at sunrise around 5:30am and fished until about 11:30am from my kayak. Caught 24 smallmouth bass in total including a handful over 3lbs (my pb in this pic was 3.75lb). Switched to a dropshot over the ned rig since I saw that there were lots of small minnows jumping around (Google says maybe they are “eulachon”) and smallmouth were hammering the presentation all day, even when the sun was high in the sky. Sometimes when they were fighting they would spit out the small minnows they were eating so I think imitating that is the way to go. I like the green pumpkin color but maybe silver/white would work to match the forage. I used a 1/4oz weight since some of the fish were pretty deep, 20ft+ of water. Trick was to find rocky areas without underwater weeds since there’s a lot of vegetation in a lot of the lake.
