Lots of quality smallmouth off shallow boulders, a few off beds. Burning a trap until we found em and then slowed down with Neds to catch better quality ones.

Although a cold front with below zero temps created a finicky bite, the perch were still attracted to the red glow spoon, just jigging it about 6 inches off the bottom in about 25 ft.

The Ultimate Coldwater Smallmouth Tactic. Hanging or moping a damiki rig. This is the tactic Gussy won the classic on! Some of the keys are to present the minnow a few feet above the fish/bottom. Less is more. Perfectly still is one of the best presentations.

Great to be back on the water. I was surprised to see fish this shallow already. Main target was boulders in 12 FOW. I was surprised to see them this shallow already. Didn't catch anything big, but average was 2.5-3lbs.
