During the spawn you can back off the bank a little bit to focus in on the fish that are coming and going from the shallow areas. Bass will use the creek channel beds as highways. A weighted Texas Rig worm is a great option for catching the deeper fish.

We located brush piles on channel swings and in ditches with the active target. Using the damiki rig vertically was productive with 12-15” spotted bass- patience was key but produced 20 fish in only 75 min of fishing. We used an 1/8oz head for 12ft or less, and used a 3/8oz head to target piles in 18-22ft. I love the hook on the bad little dude by Bryan New. The Guppy head jigs are great too. We alternated between natural bait patters (baby bass) and pure white. Every now and then we used white with silver flake. Keep it hovering above the piles.
