Late August has the topwater bite on fire.
Smallmouths are pushing smelts to the surface all over the lake and all species are getting in on the feeding.
Sight fishing can be great on the calmer days, surface baits for Smallmouth Bass and Grandpa's Tackle Box Jig heads with paddle tails retrieved below the Bass for lurking walleye and pike , and heavier jigs and tube baits for Lakers watching from below in 45-65 fow.
Multispecies fishing in one spot and the fish show you were they are !!!
