Water temps in the AM were 67 but warmed up to 70-71 main lake by late afternoon. We caught quite a few Smallies targeting main lake points and the shorelines near them. The windier the better it seemed. The big bites seemed to escape us this day, tubes and hair picked up some but Jerkbaits were the ticket for us.

Took 1st during the MinnYak Elite Trail Series Event. Started running shoreline with a popper, but as the sun got high I transitioned to a hair jig and just covered water. When I slowed down, I used a drop shot which helped me land big bass for the event. Bites were consistent throughout the day, allowing me to come across some bigger ones for a nice pay day.
