I covered my favorite technique for summer smallmouth on lake George in a previous review. This will be my 2nd favorite technique. I was fishing on the north end of the lake and I was marking fish in 12 feet of water over heavy vegetation. So I was using a ned rig it consisted of a ned rig jig head and a small yum ned crawfish. It was only about an 1 1/2" long and was green pumpkin. I wouldnt jig it or work it at all i would send it down to the bottom and then close my bail and wait and you would see the line start to run a little and then i would set the hook and the fight was on.

Points
Last summer I fished 2 kayak bass fishing tournaments on lake George and the majority of my success came from 2 techniques. I will discuss 1 here and the other in a separate review. The month was August and it was very warm both air temperature and water temperature. The fish pushed out deep and catching them became a struggle. I found the smallmouth were sitting in 40 feet of water around the points of the various islands on lake George. So I tied a Texas rig with a heavy worm weight and put a 3 inch plastic crawfish on it and I would drop it straight down. It would hit the bottom and I would send out lots of extra line then put my rod in its holder and start peddling my kayak around and then as I was pretty much trolling I would get the bite. I ended up catching a lot of smallmouth between 19-21 inches this way.

found largemouth in 12 to 20' where there was a mix or rocks and grass. throwing a heavy drop shot and dragging it similar to a carolina rig put a couple of 4 pounders in the boat along with a bunch of 1.5 to 3 pounders

Fishing was a little more consistent today. Drag or crack a Strike King coffee tube on isolated boulders.

The Bass are in transition and finicky. Find boulders or shoals in 20 to 40 ft. The Smallmouth were suspended 10 feet from the bottom and constantly moving. Move with them
