Smallmouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureRip RapSmallies were off the deeper rip rap in slack water. Fish were off the rock a bit and key was to self left off bigger boulders sitting out in 6-8 feet.

High water on the river and fish are pushed up shallow. Bass relate to a hard edge when water is rising so throwing a frog around reed edges and flooded trees produced some good bites

Had to go find current and grass lines with cleaner water and slow way down to get bit fish are still post spawn and in transition.

Fishing the lily pads in very shallow water the bass were demolishing the frogs! Key to my success was slowing down and letting the frog sit in the open pockets and slightly walking it.
