On Smith the largemouth and spots were both post spawn. We found two patterns throughout the week we were there. The first pattern was flat pockets that had baitfish present using small profile chatterbaits and stealth blades. The second pattern was deep docks 50-100 foot, and the spots would suspend under them and we caught these spots with a Neko Rig, Green Pumpkin 5 inch Senko.
