During trip, there are thousands of juvenile Perch everywhere. Many of the Smallmouth and walleye were hanging tight to the bottom and following these schools of perch everywhere. The perch can be found on weed beds feeding on snails. With the jerkbait, target the 15-18ft of water range. with 10lb flouro, you will be working the 8-10ft range. The walleye and Bass will shoot up from the bottom and nail it. Work the jerkbait in a one twitch a second. any faster they would give up on it, any slower and they would get a really good look and turn around. With the Dropshot, leave about 2.5ft of line from your weight to the hook. this will allow the bait to still be visible when the weight goes through the weed bed. Make a very long cast and DRAG bag as if you were trolling. Trout, Bass, and walleye were all together and all three species were included in our multi-species touney. I was fortunate enough to get away with a WIN! Tightlines!

Found some nice smallies on main lake points . Water level is low with around 10 ft of visibility . Burning a 3/8 ounce jackhammer with a Yamamoto zako trailer was the ticket today for the bigger more aggressive fish
