18.5 inches 2lb 6 oz smallie. It was laying right off the wind blown rip rap bank in less than 3 foot of water. Water was surprisingly stained given the lack of rain we have had. Water temp was about 49-52.

I was keying on shallow wood near the main river channel or just inside shallow pockets off the main river. Anything that had just a little bit of depth on it where you couldn’t see bottom. 2-4ft of water. I was flipping a jig around the wood. My better quality fish came this way. The lake was still at winter pool levels so there was some wood and brush that was just stuck on shallow flat areas that looked like junk from a distance, but it held fish as the afternoons warmed up during the tournament. I also cranked the OG Tiny on rock back in pockets. Rock transitions from chunk rock to pea gravel leading into spawning areas as well as offshore shallow rock piles in 2-6ft were my primary cranking areas. I caught smaller keepers cranking, but filled out my limit on day 3 with those fish.

Decided to do a little bank fishing on the Little River around 2 pm, had a few bites on a 3/8 oz strike king structure jig, but didn't hook up. Picked up the hybrid hunter and caught a 1 lbs 6 oz lm on the first cast. For 30 minutes on the water was pretty productive. Usually is pretty slow in the afternoon so will try again early morning as they are moving shallow
