With recent rains, I fished areas where the jerkbait bite and finesse swimbait bite had been hot. The water had stained and leaves floating everywhere. To combat that I pulled out a spinneribait. Added a swimbait trailer for slower retrieve and extra action. Baitfish in the areas was the key. Most of the smallmouth looked to have already spawned out

Fished the lower end of Lake Cumberland, colder and cleaner water. Balls of shad everywhere from 10-30ft. Focused on Points with bait on them. Used a Big Bite Baits 3.3 Pro Swimmer in ghost color and a Keitech Fat Swing Impact 3.3 in Sight Flash. Slow and steady retrieves with light line were the ticket

Largemouth hanging on last deep water in the back of the creeks, mostly using old standing trees as cover. They are also hanging on the last channel banks on chunk rock. Find south facing, sunny rocky banks for the best action. Live scoping smallmouth with a small swimbait is also working.
