Water temps were 68F-72F end of day. Fish were found in shallow and deep water relating to reefs and boulders. Early morning the shallow bite was good 2-8FOW. Later on the fish moves out deeper to big boulders 15FOW-25FOW but they were pretty finicky in getting them to bite when the sun was up high. Fish will continue to feed as the water continues to drop. Fishing will only get better!

a MEGA 6.95lber hit the deck on this day. Biggest smallmouth I have ever seen in person and might be the biggest one I catch in quite some time. Fish are all over the place from 8-25ft so just have to find the active schools
