The air temps were running about mid 40ās and the water temps were holding in the low 50ās this day. Moving baits such as spinners and cranks werenāt getting any attention. I switched up to a BFS and wacky worm presentation. A Yamamoto Senko Watermelon Black Flake 5ā on a 1/8oz weighted VMC wacky hook set and landed a 3+pounder on the first throw. I was tossing the Senko under the dock around pilings from the pier. A slow drop, pause and pop, followed by a slow drag, got their attention. A short time later I hooked onto a 5+pounder! This was my PB and got a perfect hookset on the top of the mouth with the wacky rig! The cold had them lethargic, but the wacky rig woke them up and forced the bigs to feed! Never be afraid to change up your presentation. Theyāre going to tell you what they want and when you find out - you got āem!

I was fishing down by the mouth of the Detroit River searching for rocks and found a good rock pile where the smallmouth were hanging out and casted my spinnerbait in and he drilled it, they love gold spinnerbaits out there this time of year.
