Smallmouth BassTechniqueCarolina RigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRiver ChannelsHit the Pool 4 of the Mississippi River right as the Spawn movement was happening. Had fish PreSpawn, Spawn, and Post-Spawn and they were moving all over the place. Focused on Sand drops and transitions outside spawning areas to catch our bag throwing a Carolina Rig in 2 - 5 ft of water.

Pre-spawn conditions, water temps unseasonably cold for late April in the mid 40s. Found smallmouth grouped up in current seams behind islands in backwater channels. Relating the sand ditches near the current seams. Both stupid tubes and ned rigs worked well.
