Smallmouth are up shallow and on the move… this means you should be too because they usually won’t stay in the same place. We found that covering water was best for getting on smallmouth. Big rocks and points were best for targeting smallies. Livescope is a great tool to use for getting on these fish. They seem to be in 5-15 feet.

The water is very cold which is probably making the bite incredibly tough. If you can find fish on ffs that helps and you will likely catch them, but finding them is the hard part. We caught some fish on the Jerkbait and we had some big fish follow back the Huddleston. Don’t be fooled, we did not catch many and had few followers, but if you want to catch a giant those two baits should definitely be in the water. Also, the A-rig is a must have. Hopefully the water warms up which will help the bite immensely. Also the closer to March we get the more fish will be moving up Good luck and hope that helps.

The water is still fairly cold but the Bass are biting. Target rock piles and points. The fish are also hanging around big balls of baitfish as well. They seem to be in the 10-15 foot range more consistently but there are definitely fish deeper in the 15-25 and possibly deeper.

The speed craw is great for bed fishing which is getting ready to break loose. There are fish on beds but it has been tough at times with cold fronts coming in. If that’s not happening the smallmouth have been biting as well. A ned rig has worked and a Jerkbait as well. Fishing the conditions is the most important thing because in Oklahoma in the spring you never know what weather you will get.

The fish are moving up on beds but I think the best is still to come. Look for fish on nests around lay downs or other cover.

If you can find what the Bass are holding on you can get into them pretty good. They are hard to find but forward facing sonar helps. The ones we found were in 15-20 feet. An A-rig worked and so did the Megabass Ito Vision One Ten + 1 in Pearl White.
