yakfish Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Who else can't wait for bass to open?? I'm sitting here along the shore of Lake Ontario during my afternoon coffe break. The lake is flat calm and has me wishing I was out there in the kayak fishing for smallmouth! Bass Will be open soon! What are your favourite techniques for targeting smallmouth in Lake O? For me I think I would be tossing a spinnerbait along the rocks here or dragging a tube or drop shotting a little deeper out. What have you had success with?

RyanTheRiverBoy Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Can't wait, hope to put put a lot of time on the water this year. For me on the upper river and Erie A tube jig and a 4 inch wacky rig, when they are a little more active and the conditions are right spinnerbaits and jerk bait all day. Might try Lake Ontario this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Never fished big lakes for smallies but I love throwing top water at the shore lines. Definitely some drop shotting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass-turd Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Topwaters, crankbaits and goby imitations are best on lake O for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snags Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Well my experience says fish for pike and you will get them. Lake O smallies love crawfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Jerkbaits! Best way to locate fish. Rip it hard and work it fast with short pauses. Throwing around rip-rap shorelines will produce. Sand flats and shoals will also be a great place to look. Stay small, but heavy enough to cast far, shallow water fish are skittish. 2" a 3.5" is good. Flashy on sunny days and brights (whites and fluorescent colours) on overcast, windy days. If there is wind, Jerkbaits will be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
