Look for bedding smallmouth around protected areas of the lake. Any decent sized flat with sand/gravel and scattered boulders were the most productive. Look for the largest fish to make their beds right next to the biggest boulders in the area! Ned Rigs have been the most effective. - Ben Nelson

Fished my first Greenhorn Event ever out here. We got 2nd out of 25. We sight fished them all 8 hours on beds. Covering water is the biggest thing when you are doing this. A maxscent lil general is my favorite ned rig bait and that color works so well. Especially for bed fishing cause that white helps you see your bait so much better. And outkast just simply makes the best ned heads in the game.

The drop shot was very effective on bedding smallmouth…casting the dropshot behind the bed and letting it drop over the bed and shaking it incited many bites.

Tried to find fish all over the lake. We found all of our bass related to the shoreline, back backs, and areas of moving water. We tried numerous areas off shore looking for bass and were unsuccessful. We did manage one 10" (true 10" on a bump board) bluegill on a sunken island. It was released. All of our bass came on drop shot using VMC spinshot hooks and Big Bite Scentation smashers or VMC wacky hooks and Big Bite pencil plastics.
