My buddy and I got out today and found the smallmouth bass on points using wacky rigged Senkos. We tried crankbaits, Ned rigs, drop shots, and swim jig paddle tails, but they only hit the Senkos.

First time out Sturgeon fishing this year. I usually net shad which is the preferred bait for Sturgeon fishing on the St. Croix, but populations seem down quite a bit this year. Very few pods observed on the electronics. Been that way all summer. We'll see if they all of a sudden show up in fall. Instead we just used crawlers and actually got into a few fish and one nice 52 incher. Usually I start shallow in 12-20 ft of water early in the season and fish deeper as we get deeper into fall. BTW, the hot bait is bogus because I couldn't select anything that I actually used and its a mandatory field.
