    Been trying a technique with a slip bobber and a dropshot rig. Caught a 3.6 lb Largemouth in about 20' of water. Using my 2-pole license, I just left that bobber rig following the boat and fished another rig off the front. Saw the bobber moving around, set the hook, and there he was. Unfortunately, he swallowed it, so I tried once to retrieve the hook, but ended up cutting the line. Didn't get a picture because I wanted to get him back in the water. Got a 2 lb Smallmouth on the same rig, a couple 8-10" LM on dropshot, and a couple SM on the same.

    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.

    6/25 5 AM - 9 AM - Picked this guy up early in the morning in 7-9 ft of water around one of the islands, but the rest of the morning was small and slow. A couple 12" Smallmouth, but that was about it.
