    Found smallmouth on points with larger rocks on bank. Shaking the sway system made a huge difference.

    Good day of fishing on main lake points targeting LMB before they move into spawn. Caught a few on the Rock Crawler and a Carolina Rig with either a brush hog or ultra vibe craw in green pumpkin. Biggest fish went 4.10lbs.

    Today they were very specific as most bass are lol. They only wanted the mooch minnow and more specifically the green shad. Tried different colors and once I switched to green, game changer!
