John, big topwaters. Be they buzzbaits, wake baits, walk the dog style lures, prop baits. Typically 4" and 1/2 oz is where I start. Some days they want one over the other. Rarely do al of the above fail. Reach out and cast long and accurate.
Secondarily, prob the depths of structure and seams with a finesse plastic like a tube. For Summer, basics covered
What size was the smallie in the middle photo; looks close to 20"? Did it fall for the Sammy 100? Thanks for sharing, JQ
ReplyDelete18.5" Insane fight though in the fast, cool water.
ReplyDeleteIt took a tube John.
BT,
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about what you consider to be your 2 favorite big smallmouth lures(18" or larger)? Thanks, JQ
