In addition to the ned rig, paddle tail swimbaits and tubes on a tube jig were working well. Air temps were around 70 degrees with mostly sunny skies. Wind was about 5mph.

The drop shot was the big player for us. Leader length was only about 8” but we were fishing in only 8ft of water. Saw a lot of empty beds but still plenty of fish around. Couldn’t get on a “big” bite but got plenty of #’s. Mile Roads of course!

Air temps were around 65 degrees and water temps were just over that in shallow water. We were in calm waters, winds at about 5mph, pushing us northeast away from the LSC shoreline. These post spawn smallies were feasting on minnows, as we found one that coughed up the hatch they were feeding on. The Keitech Fat Swing Impact (3.8”) in Smallmouth Magic did the trick. Retrieve was fairly fast as they weren’t biting at slower speeds.
