Caught this smallmouth in about 25ft of water along a drop off. I was using a 1/4oz jighead to try and stay lower in the water, it worked decently well but also would occasionally get caught in grass when in more shallow water. There’s a lot of tall underwater grass. Also caught a largemouth retrieving the swimbait next to one of the disconnected floating docks.

Different part of same retaining wall as last weeks 5lber, got this 5ob 9oz around 6:40 AM. 3" paddletail drop shot with a 3/16oz stick weight with 2-3' hang. Give 10-20 sec wait after the cast, then drag slowly to the boat. Be careful of snags and weeds. Might try a weedless hook, but I'm used to the open G-Finesse. Got another dozen small and large mouth, but nothing longer than 12". In fact, the big guy was my third fish after 4" LM, then a 8" SM, and then that big guy in the photo! I fished another hour before calling it a morning, so that 8-10 fish came in that time. Good time to finesse the shore and the drop-offs near them. It's my home lake, so I don't like to go too long. I get a good fish, and then I like to stop and save for another day.
