I was fishing a current seam around a rock boulder. This created a secondary channel that dropped off to 6-8’. I was dead sticking for long periods with slight hops here and there. The smallies were picking it right up off the bottom. I was mainly target the 5-3ft slack water near this channel. It was not a fast bite. The fish that were eating though were in the 3-5.5 range. Very slow retrieves were the key.

The water was rising and murky from recent rains. Lots of leaves and other debris coming down the river. The extremely slow retrieve of the hair jig at creek mouths was key to getting bites
