7/9 - 7/10: The smallies were spread out in multiple water depths. We found our best fish up shallow, but large schools of smaller fish out deep. They were very aggressive post front, during the front they shut off. The definitely wanted the slower fall when suspended. If they were hugging the bottom, a tube or a Carolina Rig with a tube on it worked well.
