Spotted BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureBaitfishOn Smith the largemouth and spots were both post spawn. We found two patterns throughout the week we were there. The first pattern was flat pockets that had baitfish present using small profile chatterbaits and stealth blades. The second pattern was deep docks 50-100 foot, and the spots would suspend under them and we caught these spots with a Neko Rig, Green Pumpkin 5 inch Senko.

Had success fishing along points that had a shallow flat with a 8 to 10 foot drop off. Bass would come from deeper water and flush bait onto shallows to feed.

Spotted bass were aggressively feeding on shad up against the walls and rock drop-offs. Fishing parallel throwing Rapala DT10 in either a shad or chartreuse color depending on the watercolor got the biggest bites.

SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructurePointsWe went out on Smith today hoping to find some fish for a upcoming club tournament. Started in towards a pocket and caught the first of many fish on a jerkbait on the point. And continued to run that pattern all day long. Clay points and 45° banks around the points. We caught way more overs than unders. Fish seemed to just follow a swimbait and didn't want anything on the bottom. It had to be moving fast and erratic to get them to bite for us. Not a giant limit but a fun day. I did use my Lowrance AT to scan the points and see if I could see the fish out about 60-70 ft away and when I did we caught them. Even my bud fishing from the back of the boat. I would just say their here and we would start catching them. Great day on the water and a much needed day for both of us.
