Look for smallmouth beds in 1’-5’ of water in sandy or rocky areas with slow moving water. Pitch a Texas rigged Big Bite Baits Swimming Mama on to the bed with a 3/8 oz bullet weight. Allow it to sink and sit on the bed. Give it a couple twitches, and allow it to sit again. Continues this for 30 seconds or so, and recast if you don’t get a fish. You should be able to catch a lot this time of year off of beds.
