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!

Fished the Sturgeon bay open and found most fish to either be spawning way back in the warmest and shallowest water or out staged around spawning habitat. We targeted the larger fish still staged up with the Mavrik jerkbait. Slower retrieve was surprisingly the deal with the water still pretty warm.
