Fish were keying on island heads/points with heavy current rushing over waiting for bait to come down river as well as on cut banks with heavy current. Was able to let the Texas rig naturally flow down onto the top of the point/current breaks before getting bit, same for the topwater, let it drift down current and then worked it across the point/current breaks. Darn good day on the water!

The smallmouth were in the middle of/just wrapped up spawning from what I could tell. It was a little tougher than usual because of that I think, but was able to find some on the rocks. They were very finicky. The bites I got they were just pecking at it and did not want to commit, hence why I was throwing the ned. I tried flipping the rocks as well as going up and down the river to flip island heads/backwaters/fast banks/sandbars, but didn't have as much luck there. Overall okay day, but was fun running the river, water levels were great so made it easy to get around.
