Water temp high 40s, catching staging smallmouth in 5-15ft off rock with a small swimbait as well as a hair jig when the wind calmed down. The line thru head with a small treble upped my hook up ratio considerably.

5/14/22 - 5/15/22: The bite was a little tough with the high wind and big rollers but we were around the right caliber of fish in the Inaugural Governor's Cup Bass Tournament. We managed to bring in a few over the four pound mark and found the 1-3 pound bass prevalent in some areas. The heartbreaker was have two giants (6+ lbs) come off within 5 feet of the boat. The only baits they would really bite were deep diving suspending jerkbaits in perch color and a green pumpkin tube dragged at a painfully slow pace.

7/16 - 7/17: The fish have scattered much more from last week. We spent too much time up shallow. There were still some fish in 5 - 15 ft but the vast majority were chasing bait in 25 - 45 ft of water. They were very finicky and did not engulf the lighter ned rig like last weekend. I didn't have any luck with a hair jig, and very little luck with the tube. There were 2 main bite windows: early morning and mid day. Most of our fish hit a drop shot on the fall. A few would follow it down and hit it within 30 seconds of the drop after working the bait a little bit. With the waves it made it difficult to stay on the schools. The best bet is to sit on one rock pile. We ran around too much.
