Overcast for most of the day and in the low 60s. Right in the heart of the smallmouth spawn. Most of the fish caught were fan casting a ned rig or a jig in areas where beds would likely be even if they couldn’t been seen. The smallmouth are so aggressive it doesn’t really matter. This is by far one of my favorite smallmouth lakes to fish.

May 22nd 2022 I fished the second day of the Pro Series and the second trail event for Kayak Bass Fishing's tournament weekend. I was able to catch a few on a megabass jerk bait shallow in the morning. Though once the sun came up I started bed fishing with a Darter throwing it with a 1/4 ounce tungsten weight.
