Got out on a warm flat day. Throwing natural shad colors. Used a zoom paddle tail in shad and a 4" ghost shad jerkbait. Gin clear water, hit some rocky flats and covered ground methodically but moved spots after I hit every direction 2-3 passes with each lure. Get the bait out away from the boat. Picked several up after letting the bait sit for 30 seconds plus. Best fish pictured was in the 5-6lb slot size but super filled up on shad. I'd have put it closer to 6-6.5 with the full belly. Got that one right before we lost the light 👍

Submerged Vegetation
Smaller pockets of sand grass would hold roaming smallmouth for short periods of time. Rotating through several spots a day was key. Hardest part was slowing down the presentation. Ned rig would get the bites from the heavily pressured fish.
