With everything being hot my favorite way to catch these summer time small mouth is the wacky rig. On long Lake (spokane river) there are multiple grass lines that drop between 19-23 feet. weightless wacky rig drive these fish crazy!

Most of the bays/inlets have high grass lines during the summer months. Getting into these bays ion the early morning with a stick has proven to be one of the best tactics during these tough fishing months. My favorite bait has become a tan and brown stick bait fishing in against the bank with a walk the dog style sends these small mouth into a feeding frenzy in which you can almost catch a fish every cast. This window does close pretty fast soon as the sun comes up.
