On the graphs, I could see an abundance of baitfish around creek mouths with nearby channel ledges. I caught a few short largemouths off a point in this area before this smallie took the bait! I don’t seem to catch many smallmouths on topwater so I thought I’d pass this info along for likeminded anglers. Good luck!

Find a shoreline where there are small trees in the water and a ledge nearby. I had the most success where the boat was in 30-40’ of water and I was casting into 2-6’. They weren’t biting if I had a trailer on. Just the spinner bait retrieved at a casual pace.
