- Species
Smallmouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRip RapDecided to try and main channel, fish weren’t bunched up, covered water and small rock piles. Bunch of decent smallies. Square bills, a few on tubes, neds but square bills produced better size and covered more water. Water and current still low.

Smallmouth were up on rock points enjoying a bit of new current from the rain, water was low. Was in the backwaters, a few on balsa cranking and a couple largies on swim jigs but mostly the ned was most consistent.

Smallies on the rocks, nearly hitting nothing but moving baits for me. Small Balsa cranks worked best. Biggest around 4 pounds

Flow was very slow, water was pretty clean. Smallies and a couple large mouth in main channel point with rock. Only a few fish per spot, had to keep moving. Wiggle wart catches everything. Got a nice walleye and 2 giant channel cats too.

Lots of active smallmouth on wingdams in good current. Have to retie a lot because of grinding into the rocks but had 3 fish around 4 pounds. Lots of other good sized fish too. The lew’s bb1 pro is the best crankbait reel ever, really give it a try.
