I'm going to be heading up there soon for the 1st time....Can anyone offer any tips for this time of year?  areas to try,  baits to use?

Thanks for any input

Go for smallmouths

Look for rocky points

Where are you launching from?

yea,  goin for smallies.  Launching from Latins Cove.....

When are you going?

Latins Cove is a good area to hit 1st but, can be a pain to launch from?

Drop-shots, tubes, and jerkbaits will catch plenty of smallies. Just find a spawning flat and then fish the closest rock formation in deeper water. The more wind the better.

Throw senkos near cover -- grass, rocks, docks, laydowns and around the islands
