Smallmouth seem to be heavily feeding on VERY small minnows. The 3" megabass spark shad resulted in the most bites vs dragging crawfish imitation. Fish could be found on shallow rock piles off points and islands. Flipping a 3/8oz jig into shoreline wood also resulted in some quality smallmouth. Some fish were also caught early morning using a hair jig around shallow sand.

Minnows
Smallmouth we're pushing schools of bait around in basins and deeper water off various points. Dropping a 3" Hazedong shad in Disco Stain at the fish (using FFS to see them) worked really well. The fish were spitting up small minnows. Smallies would actually often eat the Hazedong on the drop before the bait even reached the bottom. I was using a lead 1/4oz weight so it didn't rocket down too quickly as the fish were not sitting right on the bottom.
