Species
Smallmouth BassTechniqueUnderspinsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructurePointsWater is still cold, not sure of the exact temp as I fish without any electronics. The females were off of points. Slow rolling the finesse swimbait was the ticket.

Drifting with drop shots across rock piles and open basin
- SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRip Rap
Fishing rip rap breaks near spawning flats. Targeting areas that the smallmouth would likely stage waiting to spawn. We have a full moon right now, so finding the fish was the tricky part because they were constantly moving. Once you found them you could really beat on them with a steady jerking cadence. 40-80 fish days aren’t uncommon. This day I did about 45 in 3 hours. When it was low light and cloudy I used Mat Skeleton vision 110. When the clouds went away and became bright sunny I switched between the Mavrik, and vision 110 in GG deadly black shad.

Pretty good bass on the senko, decided to go with the shad color because of the shad schooling by the surface, caught by a few rocks close to shore.
