I had a bass club tournament on the Chain yesterday. I was the only Co-angler in the club to get a limit. Maybe the thunderstorms from last night had the fish off. My boater quickly discovered the bass in Bertha/Clamshell had a thing for a blue Chatterbait catching a fish on his first cast after we arrived in Bertha around 11:30. He culled 4 or 5 times before I finally took him up on the offer to take the trolling motor. I put my first keeper in the boat shortly after going up front. It took me about an hour and a half to get my limit at which point I gave him control again. I was getting most of the bites on the inside weedline of wind swept banks. I got 3 or 4 pike to every bass. My boater was retrieving quite a bit slower than me and was catching more fish because of it.

The big smallmouth are starting to stack up on deeper rock piles. It seemed like the casting location was key as bites were few and far between unless you could make repetitive casts to specific spots. The bites were subtle the fish would grab it and not move. This bite should hold up if the weather stays decent.
