I mainly focus on DT10 crankbaits in the winter months. During the day the smallmouth and some largemouth will get extremely shallow on the dam pushing up shad and ambushing them. Depending on the water clarity I switch up my colors accordingly. I highly recommend a 7.1:1 gear ratio tatula 103 for extreme casting distance.

I went out to the lake on 01/05/22 for a few hours. The water temperatures on the lake ranged anywhere from 53-56 degrees fahrenheit throughout most of the lake, and I did find one creek where the water was substantially warmer, as warm as 67 degrees fahrenheit at the very back of the creek. The lake was about 2.5 - 3 feet low and I was catching smallmouth in about 8-12 feet of water along the rip rap at the dam and the chunk rock banks adjacent to it. They were hitting the bait about halfway back to the boat with the boat positioned parallel to the bank. It was slow as I had about 5 bites total but they were all healthy fish and got the bait well when they did decide to bite. Attached is a photo of one of the nicer fish I caught on the trip out, thank you all for reading and tight lines!

Current water temp 80-83. Water clarity is 2-3ft. I was fishing down the dam very close to the shore and paralleling the bank with the Strike King Sexy Dawg spook. The fish wanted a very slow walking action. They would follow it for a while and when I paused it they blew it out of the water. It is a really awesome bite! Good luck!
