I don't fish for small mouth bass.
Perch and Walleye mostly.
However, in June I did catch 2 small mouth bass at Niagara Reef in 12 fow using a jig tipped with a minnow.
I was fishing for walleye.
Hope this helps!

Fished Ruggles reef sunday and did well with about any dark colored tube bait on 3/16 jig. Wind and waves were wierd but fishing was good. Several smallies in the 4 to 5 lb. range. Always a blast when the smallies turn on. The water was a lot discolored the reason for dark tubes. Would have stayed longer but fouled 3 plugs on outboard with no spares. (lesson learned) ::
