Smallmouth bass are hands down one of my favorite species to chase on the water! Their fight & aggression make every catch unforgettable. 🎣 Here are my two go-to techniques for reeling them in:

Trolling 🚤

- Cover Water: Troll crankbaits along rocky reefs and mid-lake humps to locate those scattered fish.
- Speed is Key: Keep your speed steady at 2-2.5 mph to maximize your chances of hooking up.
- Depth Control: Choose crankbaits that match the depth of the fish. The wobbling or erratic action mimics an injured baitfish, making it irresistible to smallmouths.

Ned Rigging 🎯

- Finesse Tactics: When the bite slows down, switch to a Ned rig to finesse fish out of the rocks.
- Target Rocky Spots: Focus on rocky shorelines and reefs—prime territory for smallmouth bass.
- Slow and Steady Wins: Cast your Ned rig, let it sink to the bottom, and then use gentle "pop pop pop" twitches. Pause and let the bait settle; this subtle, lifelike movement often triggers strikes.

What’s your secret to landing big smallmouths?
