The Shadow Rap Deep Jerkbait in Ghost Shiner color was the ticket to a successful day on Lake George, NY. Largemouth, Smallmouth, and a Lake Trout were caught in 58-60 degree water temperature with a slight breeze from the Southeast. The most consistent bite pattern came from casting the jerkbait outside shallow water markers towards the main lake in 12-15 fow and near points from the main lake to the bays. Look for rock flats and boulders near drop offs and cast from shallow to deep for a bigger Bass bite. Smaller Black bass were caught in 4-6 fow using a Charlie Brewer Slider Grub with 1/8 oz Keitech tungsten jig head.

Boulders
With the smallmouth transitioning through the spawning stage, they can be targeted effectively by casting jerkbaits along sand flats making casts specifically at large boulders and wood that can be seen by the eye or with forward facing sonar.
