Smallimouth are currently feeding around hard cover. The baitfish and shad are up shallow. The fish are past the drop looking up and aggressively feeding. Looks for rip rap bank or isolated rock cover in slack water with deep water adjacent to it. The Lucky craft pointer series has a great dart and rolling action. It suspends perfectly. The small size of the 78 imitates the small baitfish they are feeding on very well.

Crawfish
Crawfish are starting to get active. Target the eddy's behind pilings. The bass are in deep water looking up at the bank for crawfish entering the water. Cast shallow and work towards the deep water. Slow drags util you hit a rock, then a slight pop, then let us sit for a few seconds and repeat. The bite can be very light so a sensitive rod and braid to leader connection helps a lot. I like. 7’ med/ fast or extra fast spinning rod for this. 12lb braid to a 10lb fluorocarbon leader is my preferred setup. Good luck out there.
