Water Temps are on the rise and the big largemouth are moving up. Its not easy, but if you can trick a largemouth into biting they are big. I beat my Personal best today by a 1/2oz. 7 lbs 1/2oz

Caught a lot of fish off docks and in the 10-15 foot of water off rocks. Definitely was starting to spawn pretty well

After striking out on Silver Lake, I headed home to Keuka Lake. Water temps today were 42-44 degrees with almost crystal clear clarity. My baits of the day were a Reef Runner Cicada and a Silver Buddy blade bait. The fish still seem to be deep, but becoming more active. They are definitely keying in on schools of Perch - because if I was around schools of Perch I would catch a smallmouth. Two of the smallmouth I caught had perch tails sticking out of their throats!

Water temp dropped from 45 to 41, but i almost seemed to make the smallmouth bite better. They were stacked in a few small areas, but 30-35 feet of water seemed to be the key.

bought the rod to use on small jigs and Neds instead of a spinning rod. works well with a Shimano 70MGL with 15lbs braid and a leader. can replace a spinning rod easily.

Fishing shallow flats and docks with wacky rigged senkos was the ticket

Lake trout were stacked up on the points in 60-75 fow. 1/2 oz football jigs with plastics were best worked in the bottom 5 ft.
