Plenty of smallmouth bedding by chambers island. Was throwing this duo realis spybait and doing a slow retrieve over the beds. Works for when drop shots become too common!

The Surgeon Bay Area did not disappoint! We found smallies on rocky flats cruising around just waiting to crush a 2.5 inch tube. A smaller tube here is key to mimic the common forage of goby and small craws that post spawn smallies cannot resist. A bait that produced bigger fish was the 3 4/5 inch Megabass Dark Sleeper fished slowly around drop offs near the same shallow rocky flats. A longer spinning rod for casting a small tube or sleeper as far as possible can give you a major advantage out here as these fish can be tricky to find on such large flats
