The smallmouth are staging to spawn on rock piles. Locate your rock piles and set up accordingly based on water clarity. I was having to cast 40 feet past to rip the Jerkbait down to them because they were glue to the bottom. Aggressive retrieval with short pauses worked best.

VERY Cold day on LSC today for the pre-spawn, only caught this guy near the rip wrap of a marina, ticking the Megabass Spark Shad off the bottom in the tiny rock fields that lead up to the rip rap.

Paired with a 3/16 ounce round jighead with a 1/0 hook. 8 foot of water, let the bait sink to the bottom and reel in a slow constant retrieve. Just enough to make contact with bottom without dragging.

Fished most of the day in 8-11 FOW dragging a Strike King Coffee Tube on a 1/2oz Bite Me Big Dude tube jig. Morning bite was extremely slow, but it picked up significantly around noon. The water around the mouth of the Clinton River was completely blown out due to all the recent rains. Once you got away from the river, the water clarity was very, very good. Ended the day with 26 total, but I spent quite a bit of my day graphing around to get ready for a couple trips this upcoming weekend.
