The smallies were set up next to the big boulders close to shore. They were anywhere between 2-6 feet of water. Where the banks were steeper was normally the better fishing. The sexy dawg was a great bait for finding where they were set up, but when i wanted to pic apart a spot i would grab the popper. They ranged in size between 1-4 lbs. with my best five going around 15 lbs. The bigger fish came off of the sexy dawg but i caught by far more on the splasher popper.
