    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.

    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!

    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!
