Bassmaster Kayak event - spawn into post spawn... smallmouth and largemouth moving on flats by flooded timber. When skies got sunny the SV-3 Spinnerbait was the ticket.

If the night is warm and stable, smallmouth are pushed up moving and chasing bait on points in the morning and then moving to 10-12 ft for spawning purposes. Largemouth are intermingled. Be aggressive early and pivot as the day transitions. There are some largemouth shallow all day; however they can be tricky to find.
