With water levels coming down and still slightly stained, the full moon and warming temperatures. The smallmouth fishing was outstanding. The supper fluke was the bait for early morning bite, we found that the 1/2 ounce jackhammer with a junebug fluke in the current was the hot bait for bigger fish. We also caught nice fish on the X zone 3.5 swammer pearl and chartreuse. With smeltonator camo head.

We drove west through the heavy rain. And found perfect water conditions. The river was rising all morning but stayed fish able until early afternoon. The fish were hungry. The new hog farmer minnesota micro rig with a northland gussy jig head 1/8 ounce and a x zone 3.5 swamer. Caught my biggest smallmouth this year.
