Fish were starting to make the transition to deeper water. We were finding most fish in the 12-15 foot range hanging around larger boulders. A ned rig was the most productive technique, but we also picked off a few smallmouth with a deeper diving jerkbait.

Fished 2024 opener out here. Was quite stingy and the fish were in a weird stage. Did most my damage in 10-14 FOW of rock humps. Check out the setups I have included and that rod and reel is seriously the best drop shot combo I've ever felt. And check out the flat worms. They just flat out catch em!
