Smallmouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSummerStructureHumpsFound fish deep; 20 to 32 feet related to structure like humps and points. Caught a few fishing on jerkbaits and drop shot, but most came on Half Head and half a MaxScent General on 1/4-ounce head. Dragging slowly produced most bites. Had fish to 4 pounds+. Also, ran into a large school of gar feeding on an insect hatch. Never seen this before on a natural lake. Two hammered jerk baits (Stunna) in 35 feet of water off a point.

On this day the smallies wanted baits off the bottom so tubes and neds weren’t as successful so we made the adjustment to drop shots and started catching! Deep humps over 20’ that had baitfish on them were key also.

WalleyeTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSummerStructureHumpsAt dusk some offshore humps in the middle of the lake had walleye schools feeding around the 8-10' range of the shallow islands. Casting at the schools with a 3.8 Fat Swing Impact keitech on a 1/4oz head caught fish out of the schools. Letting the bait fall and then fishing it very slowly off the bottom trigged them.
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSummerStructureHumpsHad a cold front come through which made smallmouth pretty finicky. Obvious humps from 14'-20' produced bigger fish but I could only get 1 or 2 bites at each spot. Jerkbaits on points also caught smaller fish.

Finished a tourney on LCO 7/9 ended up taking 1st the smallmouth hadn’t put on the post spawn weight yet so we fished smallie the first 2 hours then largemouth most of the day. Smallies were cruising shallow rock flats/spines topwater/flukes. The largies in standing cabbage with milfoil clumps mixed in. However the largies weren’t relating to the milfoil during the tournament more cruising in the cabbage

The fall frog bite is heating up around Sawyer County! Getting out in the nasty weather can produce some great results this time of year. Fish pictured went 5.22

Found fish pushing bait onto shallow points so I picked up a swim bait and never put it down.
