Fishing SML in June

Jessica, Dewayne, and son with their catch of the day!

What do you get when two people who love to fish get married and operate a local business on the water?

A lot of great advice!

This angler scoop comes to you straight from Indian Point Marina where owner Dewayne Lamb and his wife Jessica sell bait and tackle, offer boat rentals, and man the Rod and Grill food truck which serves up classic southern lunch fare. 

Here are some quick tips from Jessica on what fish are where right now, along with her preferred style of bait to use for each scenario:

Bass

Where to Find Them | What to Use

Rip-rap banks and points | Buzz Baits and Spooks

Docks | Wacky Rigs and Senkos

*For Night Fishing: Thunder Sticks and Wake Baits

Stripers

Where to Find Them | What to Use

Wherever you see shad spawning | Live Bait and Planer Boards

*For Night Fishing: Fish will be quite shallow | F-18 and Hit Sticks

Find all the gear you need at Indian Point where Dewayne will be more than happy to help get you headed in the right direction for a great day of fishing on Smith Mountain Lake!
