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 post spawn has the smallmouth bass moving to deeper water and scattered across the lake as they roam the weedlines and rock piles in search of cover and ambush points for their prey. Air temps were in the low 60s early morning, moving to 70s in the day. Water temps were low 60s at the catch locations. We found them in Anchor Bay in around 12-14FOW. Dragging tubes worked well, but so did swimbaits slow rolled deep. Colors that produced for the tubes were green pumpkin and the swimbaits were smallmouth magic. Once you find them, spot lock or anchor and just keep casting away. If you’re drifting, make several passes before moving on. Tight lines!

Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureDocksWith the winds pushing us off the main lake, we turned into the local canals to get to safety and refuge from the winds beating us down. We began hitting sea walls and docks with senkos wacky rigged and it was on! The water clarity was stained to clear, but along weedlines and pitching under docks, the wacky rig got bit over and over again when the flash of spinners wasn’t working.
