5.5.22 Water in the 48*F range, light Eastern winds semi clear water. All my fish were caught from the rock piles. Drag the bottom, if you're feeling those rocks your in the right zone. Slow dragging tubes, Jerkbaits with easy jerks and long pauses, and slow rolling swimbaits were getting it done. Swimbait was king though.. Ended up with 32 fish and my PB smallie this year at 6.04. Can't wait to get back out there again. Those power swimmers were money.

The winds were kicking and the chop was high out on Lake St Clair, but we found some refuge behind a yacht club and the smallmouth bite was on fire! The water temps were around 62 degrees and the air temps were mid 60’s as well. Partly cloudy skies and a sandy bottom with grass patches coming is where we found our bite. My angling partner and I were throwing the Z-Man GOBIUS in the natural goby color and the smallmouth bass were hammering it! The bait is super durable and was catching fish after fish with no visible wear. The Shimano FC line was handling casting into the high winds without binding up. Retrieve varied from a slow roll, to popping and dragging. We were catching them shallow in 3-5FOW.
