Smallmouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonSummerStructureRip RapFished along some riprap using a pintail swimbait at medium retrieve. Would let it hit bottom and then yoyo off the bottom. Smallies couldn't resist the yoyo off the bottom. Add a few twitches to your retrieve.

Tough bite in my team tournament. Only had those two fish and my partner caught one. Both fish came off rock piles in about 10ft of water. We had big fish of the tournament with the Largemouth. Just under 4lbs.

Really cold and windy. The only thing they would bite was a Ned Rig. About 12ft of water. Fishing was super slow but it's better than working.
