Well, the fishing was great! We got a little wet but we caught in the neighborhood of 30 smallmouth. To our surprise not one largemouth was caught over the three days. Most fish were in the 1-2lb range with a few pushing 3lbs. Most of the beds were empty, but there were a lot of smaller males cruising the shallows. We caught fish in all of the areas previously suggested in this post. Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. On a sadder note, I accidentally left behind several expensive fishing rods when I left. I did not notice them missing until I got home and when I called Xmas Island resort they had not seen them nor had anyone turned them in. I'm out around 1000.00 dollars.
