Made a trip to chelan this weekend to target some smallmouths. Hit the water at about 6:30am, fished the rock wall along the highway and around wapato point throwing crankbaits, plastics and jigs... nothing. After a few hours we threw on some crankbaits and started trolling about 300 yards off the Manson boat launch in about 25 feet of water, first pass and we get a 12 pound mackinaw, pass number 2 we got a 7 pounder, pass 3 a 3.5 pounder. A buddy I'm another boat got two smallies and those were the only bass we saw this weekend. Fishes Sunday for a bit and pulled out one more 3 pound mackinaw with a football jig. Couldn't get on the bass but can't complain about some big fish.
