Summer is a great time to use swim baits casting on the shallow rock piles on the lake. I like a 1/4 oz jig with a Ripple Shad, and locate the rock and put your trolling motor down and start casting into them. I use Fireline with about 3-5’ of 8 lb mono and tie the mono directly to the fireline. Start on the wind blown side first and work your way around the rocks casting up into them. Good luck

Mid summer mornings with no wind look for reefs that top out at 5’-10’. Try surface baits, toss them out on the reef tops and slowly pop them back to the boat. When the smally hits wait a couple seconds before setting the hook. Good luck.

one of my most favorite ways to fish is casting the shorelines in the spring. Look for rocky shorelines with sand and gravel mixed in, also look for a slow brake on the shoreline as it stays shallow coming out from the shoreline further. Tie a small snap and hook your bait to that and throw right up to where the water touches the shoreline and very your retrieve to the boat. I like the DT-4 because they cast like a rocket and very durable on the rocks and they have large hooks. I also like using mono for this as it gives a little shock absorber when the smally hits. Check the last 5' of your line often as there are a lot of rocks and it gets nicked up quickly, that's why I use the XT mono, if there is a nick pull off 5' and retie.. Good Luck and see you on the water.
