I don't know how many of you fish inland bodies of water where bluegill/bream are the main forage for bass. We have lot of natural lakes in this general area where being successful at catching bass depends on finding the bluegill. Do you notice the correlation between the two during the year? I had a recent trip on a lower Michigan lake where I ended up finding the bluegill deep because of the heat wave. They were running 15 to 20 feet deep in this clear lake. Once I picked up a drop shot and dropped down I noticed something I hadn't been aware of before. Check out the underwater footage of when the drop shot goes down where the bluegill are.
This was our first fishing trip of 2023. Strong winds and storms the day prior led into our bluebird fishing day. Come along to see how we stringed some bites together on a tough fishing condition day. Thanks for being part of our community and stayed tuned for more exclusive content from R & J Bass Fishing.

Jim and I went out over the holiday weekend and decided to drop the camera down on a rocky shoal. It was loaded with inactive young year class smallmouth. Dropped some lures down so you could see how they reacted to the baits, and what triggered their activity. #bassfishing #underwater #wildlife #nature #smallmouth #bass #GreatLakes
