SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureLedgesAlso used 6th Sense Clout 5.4 in Green Pumpkin Juice for wacky rig which was main presentation but the worm isn’t listed above. We ran some points, mainly secondary points, and ledges down spawning banks. Smith lake is full of “shelf” rock, keeping boat 20ish feet off bank casting wacky worm and craws up to 1’-2’ of water and letting fall on slack line, working to edge of shelf/ledge slowly then letting fall off ledge on slack line. Majority of bites came on fall even on the smaller berkley baits. 18lb line ended being to large and downsized to 14lb and had better success. Starting at beginning of pockets and working the first 3/4 of way back with 90% of fish caught coming in the 8’ range. 70% of fish caught were spotted bass 30% large mouth. Biggest fish caught was large mouth obv 4.06 and spot 2.15. Fished in the sipsey fork entire time.

We 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.

Fishing deep guts in the backs of the creek channels right away in the morning was key to catch keeper size Spotted Bass. Throwing a small swimsuit and a Shakey head with a finesse worm.
