Smallmouth BassTechniqueSwim JigsSeasonSummerStructureRock PileFish were hard to come by but managed to grab a few nice ones fishing rock offshore. Swim jigs fished slowly, bouncing off the rock worked best. Could not get a fish to bite the drop shot or a ned rig.

8-10 FOW slow crawled along bottom.
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueHover/Mid-StrollingSeasonSummerStructureReefFish are very very hard to get to eat right now. Gotta cover a ton of water to get bit. It seems like throwin a minnow on their head works best. Also getting bit on drop shotted tumble weeds as well. Can still catch em this time of year. But definitely much harder. TIGHT LINES!!
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueHover/Mid-StrollingSeasonSummerStructureReefFish are in a weird postspawn stage now. And for the most part they want nothing to do with your bait. Though if you happen to run across a feeding window hold on cause it's wild. That's what I ran across this morning and fish were coming 10+ feet off bottom to eat my bait. One of the craziest things i've ever experienced. Caught a ton of fish on that scoping setup and I've had a really hard time doing that out here so it works. Also spending some time working shallow breaks with topwater which doesn't produce many bites but they are quality when you get one.

Edges of the rock piles, cast up shallow as soon as it hits the drop they smoke it.
