Species
Smallmouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureBaitfishSmallies were staged in areas with large amount of shad. Mostly found them in the shallows near steep ledges. A white jackhammer worked well for getting them to bite. Was also able to get them on the ledges with a shad colored jerk bait. Found a few decent largies in the shallows feeding also.

Awesome day on the river, it's easy to call your shots once the water heats up mid-day. Fishing flatsides around laydowns and rock walls was the ticket to some 4 and even 5 pound fish!!
