Smallmouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureFlooded BrushFishing was slow for me, spent too much time in areas along deep flooded shores...trying various baits, spinnerbaits and soft plastic getzit. When I went up into creeks above flooded brush found two smallmouth. Others who fished in area closeby caught bigger and more smallmouth.

I recently participated in a semi-informal kayak tournament at Greers. I had a successful fishing trip where I caught over 10 fish by casting a 3/4 spinner bait up against rock walls. The water temperature during the trip was between 62-64F, and it was overcast with 30mph gusts. In a previous report, I mentioned that the Falcon Head Turner rod is the best option for spinnerbaits, and I still stand by that statement. I paired it with a Shimano 150 size reel with the MGL spool in a slower ratio, allowing me to channel my inner Jason Christie. The Mastiff line is an excellent choice in line if you're looking for a complete package for 3/8 and 1/2 spinnerbaits with trailers, or 3/4 ounce spinner baits without trailers. Overall, I couldn't ask for a better setup for my fishing trip.

Fished main lake on north end near Sugarloaf. Water temp was 46F, over cast with a light a rain and no wind. Casting main lake points that backed up to buck brush with a jerk bait caught enough fish to win a small friendly tourney.
