The south winds were BLOWING and abusing me in my little kayak, but the water was crystal clear and I knew it was smallie time. I didn’t catch many, only caught 3, but the ones I did catch were TANKS. My smallest fish of the day was 3lbs. Targeted rock piles on the mile roads with my natural looking underspin and a finesse tube and caught some hogs. Saw guys catching more numbers fishing jerkbaits. Happy hunting!

The air temps were in the low 70s and winds were at about 7mph when we started landing bites in around 14-16FOW along weedlines. You could vary the retrieve from slow to fast, but it didn’t matter…the bite was on! There were multiple 5lbers caught on the Keitech FAT Swing Impact swimbaits. Ironically, I was even catching largemouth on them - they are truly magic!
