Smallmouth BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBouldersBouncing off of rock piles and timber in 8-10 feet. Short pauses mixed in here and there. Usually change out hooks but these have not needed any mods out the box. A hook sharpener will come in handy. Any medium moderate casting rod will do.

Omnia Community MemberBronze AmbassadorSpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRock PileFound great success targeting small rock pile flats in 15-20 feet with access to deep water near by. The afternoon time with the sun out was best for me. I would find a rock pile I wanted to target, make long casts as the fish would be easily spooked and very slowly drag my jig. Sometimes it would be a light pick up, others they would nearly rip the rod out of your hands. Use heavier powered gear as many hook sets would be with lots of line out. Caught my PB of 5.6 lbs doing thing

Great day dragging on bottom! Football Jig usually gets it done here. Caught a few testing dragging slow flow.
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRock PileCaught this in 15ft of water over rock piles. Around 15-20ft of visibility. Right when the water gets choppy, throw this lure! Hooks are incredibly sharp. BRING YOUR PLIERS. Weighed 4lb 12oz. Jerk, jerk, pause, jerk, pause is the rhythm!
- SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRock Pile
Biggest one caught on the drop shot. They really enjoyed the flatworm a lot more vs. my roboworm. Caught 3 in 15ft-20ft of water. I did dye the tail with a chartreuse Spike-It marker but not sure if that made it more desirable or not. Still testing! Any 6’8-7’ medium or medium light spinning will do. The clearer the water to lighter like I would use. Leader line (from worm to weight) was 16-18inches.

Caught on the pendulum swing - cast far and let your bait fall-swing on tight line. Love this jig head. Would suggest practicing rigging or pre-rigging the night before. I have reused plastic paddle tails using Mend-It. Loved the fight on this guy. 1 oz from tying my PB smallmouth. 4lb 11oz

Caught this guy as it sunk to the bottom at around 16-20ft depth. Medium-heavy spinning rod with 12lb braid and 12lb fluoro 15’-ish leader. Great fight overall. 3lbs 6oz
