SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSummerStructureRock PileFocused on main channel points and rock piles. Fish were grouped up well and we caught several fish off each spot. Ned rigs caught the bulk of the fish but also picked up a few with swing heads and Rage Craws. Later in the evening a black popper also was a key player.
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Popping)SeasonSummerStructureRock PileStarted off the morning on a good popper bite over a shallow rock pile off the main river channel. Got a decent limit there and then bounced around on the main channel and picked up some key fish on a Ned rig. A white swim jig and spinnerbait also accounted for a couple key fish later in the day.

Focused on main channel current breaks today. The wind really made it tough to present the bait properly but we fought through it. Took home big bass honors with this 4.7 smallie.
