Smallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureHumpsA few smallies could still be found on beds, but the majority had moved back to deeper water, and the drop shot was the key. Schools were found in 35-45 feet of water on the steeper side of off shore humps, with some larger fish coming from 60-70 feet. This was Day 1 of the Hobie Bass Open Series Winnipesaukee event.

Was able to catch a nice mixed bag of largies and smallies around rockpiles and humps along weed bed edges. Drop shot with Aarons morning dawn was fire for those fish. Tied in 3 way tie on day 1 for largest bass on that bait.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSummerStructurePointsDuring this mid-summer trip, fished a variety of cover and structure with 5" hula grubs, weighted, wacky rigged senkos and lipless crankbaits. Caught a mix of largemouth and smallmouth bass mostly located on the edge of cabbage patches in 8' to 14' of water on rocky points until mid day. Moved to deeper rock piles and ledges (15'+) through the afternoon with the hula grub, lipless crankbait and blade bait each fished with a yo-yo type retrieve. Covered lots of water and connected with a number of bass for a great day on the lake.

Drop shot was the ticket for deep summer smallies. The majority were found in 60+ feet of water just off of 30 foot humps. Another good bite came early morning on a ned rig up shallow on points, but the bite didn’t last long.
