Smallmouth BassTechniqueMedium Diving Crankbaits (7'-12')SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureLedgesFished a tributary to the susquehanna river today. Water temperature was 42-43 degrees. Water clarity was 2-4 feet. The fish were stacked in bank eddys. The most aggressive crankbait eating fish were on the current seam and wanted the crankbait moving just fast enough to grind bottom.

Looked for breaks in the current. Fished above and below the breaks. Fished slow and downstream slowly hopping ned rig. XZone ned zone was dominant bait. Fish were crushing it! Calm conditions for ned. When wind picked up I picked up the jerkbait. Megabass mat perch pointer 110. jerk jerk pause. Longer pause and fish would hit once I started the next jerk.
