I found the smallies on points/island heads actively feeding on bait. It helped to wait until they started busting on top and then I’d cast to them. Super cool way to fish for them and they were SUPER aggressive when they did. So much so that they’d blow the bait out of the water. Fun day!

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!
