With recent rains, I fished areas where the jerkbait bite and finesse swimbait bite had been hot. The water had stained and leaves floating everywhere. To combat that I pulled out a spinneribait. Added a swimbait trailer for slower retrieve and extra action. Baitfish in the areas was the key. Most of the smallmouth looked to have already spawned out
