Rock Pile
Finding rock piles loaded with Smallmouth this time of year can be loads of fun in the first 2-3 hours of the day. Catching the early morning bite is the key. Fish are definitely hugging the bottom and are hard to find via standard electronics/2d sonar. Fish how they should be staged by current and run spots until fish are located. Once located, proceed to t-off on them and have a blast.

Rock Pile
Started the day by using Crankbaits to locate smallmouth bass in an area that has been known to be productive. Using a Rapala DT14 and a Strike King 5XD we casted and located very big Smallmouth Bass. After a few fish catches we switched to a Tube and Drop Shot. The tube was easily the biggest producer and caught 2:1 in comparison to the drop shot. Isolated rock with grass still present was the key to victory here. We drifted back and forth on this area with a best 5 of 24.30. Easily threw back 2-3 - 20lb Bags. The main river was the not on fire, but if you found them; it was beyond good.
