Smallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBaitfishIt was slow. It was hard to get all bites by hard jerkbait. Soft jerkabait and tube also worked.
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueUnderspinsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRock PileThe south winds were BLOWING and abusing me in my little kayak, but the water was crystal clear and I knew it was smallie time. I didn’t catch many, only caught 3, but the ones I did catch were TANKS. My smallest fish of the day was 3lbs. Targeted rock piles on the mile roads with my natural looking underspin and a finesse tube and caught some hogs. Saw guys catching more numbers fishing jerkbaits. Happy hunting!

Mile roads 8-12 fow find rocks boulders and hard bottom you’ll find fish it was extremely windy 17-20 mph gusts mainly drifted around and let the wind do the work dragging a tube , slow rolling swimbaits and spybaits was the juice for me

The air temps and water temps have been rising. On this day it was about 58 degrees for the air temp at launch (0730hrs) and rose to 80 degrees by 1300hrs. The water temps ranged from 65-68 degrees, depending on the depth and clarity. Most of what we fished was clear and you could see bottom in 6-8FOW. Dragging and swimming the tube were key, as were the dropshot on a flat worm. Got some great underwater footage as well. The attached video is when a smallmouth decided to spit the tube before the hookset. Locate hard bottoms and you'll locate the smallmouth. Grassy patches were good also. Sandy bottoms did not produce. Follow LIVE 2 FISH on YouTube for more great footage and links to the best Omnia products to use on legendary Lake St. Clair!
