Smallies were caught on top of humps and long points with limited vegetation. They were cruising less than 5 feet and feeding heavily on crawfish. Ned rig worked great. Largemouth were caught on deep weed lines and cuts with suspended panfish, DT 16 and drop shot caught fish.

Kind of a mixed bag of tricks. Water is super clear so finesse and long casts were the keys. Got most of them on the spinning gear and a TRD. A few others on a jerk bait.
