Reef
Smallmouth were VERY active on sand bar drops near shallow rock reefs on the west side of the lake. Fish didn't seem to be on top of the reefs, but feeding around the edges in packs. They were easy to spot with forward facing sonar. Best technique to catch them was casing out a Megabass Hazedong shad on a dropshot, then swimming the bait slowly back to the boat. Football jig & ned rig also got bit, but the Hazedong shad in DISCO STAIN color was hot.

Minnows
Went looking for walleyes after seeing Brian’s report and ended up doing well on Smallmouth bass. They tended to be in 12 to14 feet of water around points and the entrance to bays. Used a slip bobber and kept the minnow 1 to 2 ft off the bottom. On average they were 2.5 to 3 lbs.
