Insane early spring bite. This water hasn’t heated up enough for the largies to be moving around, but the smallmouth are going crazy right now. Just use your sidescan to look for structure in 10’-20’ of water. Toss out a blade bait and let it hit the bottom. Just yo-yo it off the bottom back to you, and you’ll catch some really nice fish. This new Mastiff line is great too. It casts well, and is very abrasion resistant!

I found the key to catching this fish was dragging the blade bait super slowly along and between rock piles. The fish are not very active so fishing slow and giving the fish a chance to make a decision makes a big difference in catching fish versus coming home with nothing.
