This lake is loaded with small smallmouth bass. To find the bigger ones you must go around fishing the deep humps and that is where the big ones will be.

With a 1/8oz NED head, Working the 6-10 depths where the aquatic vegetation separates the rocky flats from the drop offs. Some fish were on the shallow side, some were on the deep side. Tried cranks, CB’s, and others, they only wanted the NED worm with a dark top and light belly.

Burning a blade over rock bars turned our best fish. Needed to trigger a reaction bite in the afternoon. The higher the sun was the better the bite got. Saw plenty of fish but most were negative even when pitching smaller baits at them.
