    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!
