Fishing shallow I found quite a few smallmouth spawning. Using a dropshot I was able to cast onto the bed and let the bait do the work!

A buddy and I headed out in our kayaks to go after to lake trout using forward facing sonar (livescope). We found lake trout in 80-120 foot roaming 50-80 foot below the surface using rattletraps and blade baits they would come up and destroy the baits. We hooked up on around 5 each but some came off. Super fun day!
