Shallow docks with not a whole lot of water on them. Flip the shady spots on the dock.

This time of year below either Ky or Barkley Dams you can catch them flipping around laydowns. Flipping and Pitching jigs and soft plastic work for me.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonFallStructurePointsFished the BFL Super Tournament on Ky and Barkley Lakes. The fish I found were on secondary points with isolated pieces of wood.. There was tons of bait. I believe that bright 1.5 helped the bait stand out in the crowd.

Partner and I got a win on the Cumberland River below Barkley Dam. We were cranking isolated cover. Rock piles, laydown, and points all came into play. This body of water is super pressured and it was important to change it up. Crank it, then swim a jig or pitch something into it. Make multiple cast to the same cover. Good luck and good fishing.

Bass are still roaming with shad schools . Some are being caught on top waters but our best success has been Rapala DT6’s on points with shad activity present .
