Topwater Popping
Structure
Boulders
Throw a popper around the logs,stick,rocks. That has been doing the best for me lately but ned rig and tubes have been doing good as well. When your throwing make sure you really get up in the rock bank they will sit in a couple of inches of water sometimes. Tight lines !!

I had minimal luck using tube, whopper, and wacky. My buddy used the recommended topwater popper and had a lot of bites. The smallmouth were everywhere, especially under/around the weeds along the shore.
