Sunken Shipwreck Explored! Amazing Smallmouth Fishing!
We won't let a broken boat stop us! Come along as we explore Lake Superior! Fall comes early in the North so we're able to target smallmouth moving shallow and feeding on baitfish long before they make the mouth in the Southern US. You'll see how clear the water is when we stumble across an 1800's era shipwreck along the way!
A lot of anglers are intimidated by big lakes. We often hear questions like, "where do you start?", "how do you know where to go?", and "Is it safe?" Fishing these GIANT bodies of water requires a dedication to safety but beyond that, its no different than fishing your local lake. Focus on protected areas or unique structures (coves, bays, points, and humps). We always start out fishing with reaction baits to cover water and find active fish, then slow down with finesse techniques as needed.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors, sizes, and any other important details. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
