A small swimbait presentation was a staple bait of our trip to Door County. When slow rolled over shallow rock flats, the small swimbait perfectly resembles a goby or dying baitfish. Be sure to select realistic looking 3 inch or less swimbaits in a light brown or baitfish color as the water is gin clear. I personally had great success on a mega bass dark sleeper in 1/2 or 3/4 oz.

Got out on May 15th. Mostly sunny day, some wind. Fished in sturgeon bay. Bass were still prespawn. Lots of 2-4lb fish were up on shallow flats (3-5') on rock or rock/sand transitions. They hit black hair jigs the best. I would recommend to stick with 6-8lb fluoro for line size. First time using the new St Croix Legend Tournament rods... I have the 7'3" MLXF and very much enjoyed it. Go catch em!
