6/4/22 Pt. 1 - The smallmouth are in full blown spawn mode and very aggressive on baits in their bed. While doing a guide trip for Xstream Bassin' Guide Service, we chased smallmouth for the first 4 hours and caught 30+ in the 1.5 - 3.5 range with our two biggest weighing in just under 4. Key bait was a TRD CrawZ in multiple colors. A rotation between green pumpkin, the deal, and greasy pawn worked best.

5/21/2022 - Absolute beat down on the pre spawn largemouth today. It seemed like it was every cast. I was burning a Rat L Trap over submerged vegetation in 4-7 feet of water. It was a bit windy and I had the most success on the weed beds closest to wind blown banks, but the key was to stay 50 - 60 yards off the bank in open water. 54 bass in only 4 hours made for non stop action and a very fun day.

Water temp ranged from 68 to 72 degrees. Can fish the submerged vegetation for smallmouth and largemouth throwing rattling traps over the top. At times needed to be on inside edge and others needed to be on the outside edge. The small northerns were the biggest problem with this approach. Switched to slip bobber and targeted the rock piles and could find small schools of smaller smallmouth but were able to pull a few 18-20” smallmouth out!

Stumbled upon an aggressive offshore bite. Fish were schooled up and related to deep rock piles and reeds, particularly those with coontail in 8-16’. Also worked the rock/sand transitions of Walleye Point. In addition to dropshotting, dragging and even vertical jigging a simple jig worm boated several nice smallmouth.

Smallmouth on piles were not biting and were being incredibly finicky. We went to flip docks and cracked a few Smallies on some of the deeper docks.

Need a separate Technique category for Free-Rigging, its earned it! Free rigged Geecrack Bellows in main basins with gradual drop-offs. 1/4-3/8 oz in 9-15 fow. Nothing else worked that day, put on the Free Rig and caught two 27 inchers and one 28 inch in a half hour.
