First time at Rathbun with my dad and son and initially were going to chase crappie. We could only catch the 7-9” ones so I changed it up to largemouth. I started with a shower blow and instantly was catching fish. I tied on the choppo for the other 2 and they were having a blast with their top water blow ups! We just looked for rocky banks and covered water.

Find Rip Rap near the dam and get to work with a chatterbait. They're eating smaller crappie and shad there. I found the green pumpkin original chatterbait with a silver blade really stood out and gave flash in the muddy stained water.
