Spotted BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDocksEnded up getting 6th place out of 133 boats on Smith today. Had 12.7 pounds and caught a bunch of fish on a wacky worm under floating docks. Fish were hard to catch but the wacky was the one bait we could get them to bite.
SpeciesSpotted BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureDocksHad a great day on smith fishing docks. Caught over 30 fish with our best 5 going about 15 pounds. These fish are getting close to spawning and are staging under floating docks on the main river and the mouths of creeks. These fish can be caught with a wacky worm and a flutter spoon the best. Also caught a few on a mooch minnow and 1 on a jig. It’s a fun way to fish.

Striped BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructurePointsWe used the Omnia Premium Pro to break down Smith Lake and it couldn't of worked better. We worked Shallow points, throwing our Husky Jerks on the flats and working them bake over the break, slowly keeping the bait on the surface. We used braid mainline to and tying a floro leader direct. Good Luck

Omnia FishingBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructurePointsJerk baits on points in this cold water has been most consistent. Changing depth up and speed of retrieve has been key. Having a couple different baits and line sizes ready on the deck helps.
