Perch
The smallies were activly feeding on bigger rock reefs. They were spread out from anywhere between 4-12 feet of water. The bigger ones came on the deeper side, but the numbers were better the shallower you went. They liked the jerkbait worked slow with very long pauses.(around 10 sec) they would hit it when u would twitch it again. Caught fish from 2-5lbs with my biggest going 5.12 Spots like indian point and rocky reef produced some decent fish.

Boulders
Fish were starting to make the transition to deeper water. We were finding most fish in the 12-15 foot range hanging around larger boulders. A ned rig was the most productive technique, but we also picked off a few smallmouth with a deeper diving jerkbait.

Reef
Southern side of Mille Lacs is scattered with rocky reefs not far from shore, reachable from Wahkon or Father Hennepin State Park via kayak. Find any set of hazard buoys and cast around a 1/2 oz chatterbait trailered with a swimbait or fluke style plastic on a moderate action rod. Smallmouth bass will post up on this hard structure post-spawn and go wild for the extra action of trailered chatterbait. Vary your retrieve speed to dial in what will trigger the fish, even let it drop to bottom and pop/retrieve with this versatile lure. Recommend tying on Fluro for better abrasion resistance with the zebra muscles covering these reefs.
