Jamie here with the latest.
We've been doing a few short trips here and there in the evening hours lately. Mostly just getting that one hour fishing-fix before or after dinner.
The bait of choice is still the Rapala Husky Jerk with the Salmo Boxer coming in a close second. At one of our favorite last earlier in the week, Mike and I showed muskie fisherman Rich some pretty good bass action while using the Husky Jerks. Total for that evening was around 15.

The smallmouth bass action remains very good just about anywhere they live right now. You can see the lure of choice in the two that were caught recently on back-to-back casts.

Mike's tip: When you're bringing in a Husky Jerk, snap it as if you're trying to clear weeds off of it. That's what's triggering big fish right now.
