Species
Smallmouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureSubmerged VegetationSmallmouth were biting up shallow and out deeper, mostly biting on the ned rig, slow dragging and jigging. The key was finding submerged vegetation and fishing the edges of it.
Mack ForsythBronze AmbassadorSpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLedgesCaught smallies from March 20th-May 20th in a few different areas around St Clair. We focused on finding trenches and rocks, those would hold smallies. Most fish were caught on jerk baits but some ned rig and swimbait was used as well. Typical pre-spawn/spawn baits. Season is about to open for tournaments, looking forward to the summer bite as the fish move off shore and get away from the pressure.
