Smallmouth BassTechniqueMicro CrankbaitsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBouldersWhat a day on the water. Smallies were crushing the Shad Raps like they always do. That’s why the Shad rap is the best bait of all time. Nice day outside and the bass were hitting. I caught 25+ bass over 3 lbs. Cast shallow and bounce off rocks, stop and go retrieve. Pause for 2 seconds after you hit a boulder, then bam! Jonathon Smallmouth is on the hook! Until next time I’ll see you in the woods and on the water. The Grundy Bassman

Hey- Grundy Bassman here. I hammered em today out on old Heidecke. Bass were biting the orange colored rattle baits today. I normally charge $49.99 for this info but I’ll give it out free today. The retrieve was a simple yo yo. Cast out, let the bait hit the bottom, let it sit for 2-3 seconds, then a quick snap up and repeat. The fish hit on the fall and you’ll set the hook on the next snap up. Try the RAT’L trap first then mix it up and see what works best. You’re going to catch some walleye too. As always, good luck and until next time I’ll see you in the woods and on the water. The Grundy Bassman
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRip RapSolid ICASST tournament today! We finished 10th out of 40 boats with 6.9 pounds of largemouth and smallmouth. In the morning, we tried for largies in the reeds but found they hadn’t pushed up yet since the water was only 50 degrees. We then picked out a deeper rip rap shoreline where we caught smallies with a dropshot on the rock to clay transition line. As the day progressed and the sun warmed up the water, we went back to the largie reeds to find that the water was now 56 degrees and a few had pushed up into them. I picked a couple off with a flipping bait and got our limit with 10 minutes to spare. Overall a great time on the water!

Hey! GrundyBassman here. With the weather warming up I went out and pounded them today. The new Chatterbait EVO got it done when nothing else would. Smallmouth were hammering the EVOs listed in this report. Best bait I’ve used in a long time. Had the place to myself again, no one was at the boat launch or in the parking lot. Bass were eager to please me. I focused on sun drenched areas where the water was warmer and a stop and go retrieve. Until next time, I will see you in the woods and on the water. GrundyBassman

MuskieTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonSummerStructurePointsI was bass fishing on Heidecke lake, and caught a huge musky!!! It was a 10 minute fight, but I successfully landed it! I had just pasted a boat that was musky fishing, and as we chatted they explained how they havnt had a bite.. the bronco bug is not only a bass catching machine, but also lands legendary fish!
