Smallmouth are making beds. Move in shallow (1’-4’ of water) and look for light circles on the lakebed. Sometimes these will have a darker circle of weeds in the middle. They often will be near structure like a boulder or dock. Pitch the Roboworm Alive Shad onto the bed and twitch it a couple times, then let us rest for 3-4 seconds. You should be able to catch a fish off of almost every bed. It’s extremely productive.

It seems like the smallmouth are really becoming aggressive as they move up. They are wanting twitch presentations like a jerkbait, jig or Senko. Use a Megabass Kanata GP in the pro perch color. Just use a jerk, jerk, pause presentation with pauses only lasting 2 seconds. The fish will hit it on the pause. You’ll be on them in no time!
