The water temperature at the beginning of the week had shot past 60 degrees, but with a recent storm and cold front the water temps dropped just below. Winds were at about 12MPH making for a tough go. Air temps were in the low 50s. Slinging swimbaits in a basin that shielded us from the winds a bit seemed to be what the smallmouth wanted. Slow retrieve just off bottom got their attention. Several 4lb smallmouth and walleye were caught on the swimbait.
