Largemouth BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonSummerStructureRip RapEarly morning (4:00-8:00) cast a jointed Rapala up into the rocky flats, let it sit and then using a burn / burn / pause cadence reel the Rapala in. Cast at a 45° angle to the shore, and take note of where you get bit. If gosh hit it a couple of times at a certain depth, switch up and cast parallel to the shore at that depth. You’ll get. Some good smallies for sure!

Long Lake is a great fishery year round. Right now the smallmouth are feeding in the early morning and late evening. During the heat of the day they will go deeper or cling to wood. Use a Duo Realis in the early morning hours over flats in 3’-10’ of water. Use a jerk, jerk pause cadence. You’ll catch some great fish.

Targeted big fish with Topwater Dawg, Frog and Cullshad. No big fish. Caught 4 lil' Smallmouth with BIG appetites and attitudes. Gorgeous cloudy day with no wind and a little sprinkling of rain. May not have caught anything BIG but the day was really fun and good for the soul! Very grateful. .🙌🌞💯 Check Out Video - https://youtu.be/WOV-EI7iZFw

Day started out with a couple really nice fish. 2+ pounders. Water cleared up and you could see lots of active fish. Big ones too. However, they did not want what I was offering. Frustrating. However, Always a good day of fishing no matter how many fish I catch... or don't catch. Very grateful. I would say, go early and hit the big fish spots. Then relax with your finesse rigs; drop shot and ned rigs. OR, work the frog all day for that one or two pigs in the lilies. 🌞👍 Check out the video - https://youtu.be/fGE7rytEVVY

Put in at Spokane Campground launch and we towards damn. Water has cooled off due to the rain however visibility is good at this side of the lake. 8-10 ft. Fishing was phenomenal. I was fishing the ledges 10-15 ft. Caught 30+ fish (all smallmouth). Unfortunately all but 3 were under a 2 lbs. Fortunately one was 4.5 lbs!!! Really fun day and I made the right choice going down river/lake.

Fishing was very SLOWWWwwww today. The visibility was either 2 ft. or 10 ft depending on where you were in vicinity to the Carp. The flats had active bass that were on a bed or just cruising. The no wind and clear water made them very skittish. Hard to almost impossible to catch. The technique I used was to spot a fish and back off to where I could not see them. Then I would long cast with a ned rig and try to visualize where the fish was. Long day at Long Lake. Caught 3. Biggest was 2.75 lbs
