Got some great underwater footage of the smallmouth bass roaming the rock piles on legendary Lake St Clair! Water temps have been rising and were in the mid 60s. Air temps for the morning were in the low 50s, but were in the high 60s by noon. The winds we coming out of the northeast, pushing us along the shoreline in a southeastern drift. We were dragging tubes and drop shots, but the were only biting on swimbaits. The Keitech Swing Impact FAT in the smallmouth magic color caught us some nice smallies. The Shimano FC line in 12lb test casts very smooth with no memory or backlash issues. Slow retrieve combined with some burining to cover water got their attention.

Find the warmer pockets in back channels and coves and you will run into Lake St Clair's finest Largemouth. When the wind was too strong for the smallmouth, we caught 2 5lb largemouth off bed!
