This was my first time fishing Ottawa. Blue bird skies 2 days after a massive cold front. The bite was tough. I saw cruisers in the shallows and was marking fish at the drop off but we could not get them turned on. This was the only fish caught that day. Slow rolled the swimbait on the Okashira head at a 45 degree angle to the bank over some large boulders at the drop off. "TICK" and she was there. This was my first Upper peninsula smallmouth and she did not dissapoint.
