    Water is very murky this time of year with the algae blooms. Dropshotting a colorful bait will get those summer finicky smallmouth to bite on rocks and humps in 10-12 feet.

    It was overcast and really windy but there were still plenty of boats out fishing. The bite was very slow but the size of bass was great. Caught numerous smallmouth over 4lbs by dragging a Bandito Bug or Ned rig on the bottom through sparse weeds. Try to stay on the outside edge of the thick weed edge in water around 8 to 12 feet deep.

    Won a tournament out of Big Spirit today with just under 20lbs all green ones. Started the day looking for a big school of small mouth and found a couple but they wouldn't eat. Moved to what we know and put our heads down and flipped docks all day. Found 1 stretch of docks where we caught 6 over 3 and a half and 2 over 4 and a half. All on a blk/blue pitboss and 1/2oz WOO! Tungsten. They weren't super deep in the docks so we were catching them flipping the shade on the outside and inside.
