So headed to the UW area with my friend Michael and my dad we headed out on our boat it looked like such a bassy area haha lily pads everywhere and so much cover we had no luck at catching largemouth at alll.....anybody know how to catch em there cause i know they are in there. anyway after 3 perch my friend caught we decided to put the boat in and fish from shore a bit...we followed the trail that goes onto a dock just across the stadium. I threw a perch colored jerkbait and caught 2 dink smallmouths. I picked up my friends rod with a black spinnerbait on casted it into the deep which is i say about 50 ft deep and let the spinnerbait sink all the way to the bottom then i started and pause and quick retrieve then this nice 2 pound smallmouth hit it she was FAT she fought hard to. What was surprising was that my friend threw there earlier but no luck he was using a slow retrieve so it obviously shows that bass do relate to different speeds and retrieves.
