Boulders
We set out over the weekend to track down some big LOTW smallies. After struggling in the morning, we found that fish were sitting on big boulders up shallow. With the sun being up high in the past couple of days, the fish are utilizing the shade of the rocks. Pitching a ned rig to these areas was the most effective technique we found.
