The main pattern was targetting spawning smallmouth along rocky banks with large boulders, that the smallmouth could make their beds behind. The water was muddy because of recent rains, so a Texas-rigged Beaver worked well on tournament day over a wacky-rigged Senko. I also caught male largemouth up on shallow wood, flipping the same Texas-rigged Beaver.
