Boulders
Fishing 30-45 foot boulders we were able to pick up some big smallmouth on 8/8, fished 6 am to about 1 pm. first two hours the action was extremely slow and not marking fish on the first 5-6 spots we stopped on. Then around 830 we found the mother load of fish and picked our way to just under 22lbs for our best 5.
