Early morning fish were reacting to top water prop baits being burned over rocks. As the day moved on and the sun got higher, fish would stay closer to bottom. Dropping a ned rig or drop shot right next to larger rocks became the easiest way to target these fish. Also a small swim bait produced fish consistently throughout the day.

I had the opportunity to fish lake Sharpe for 4 days over the last weekend. With water temperatures hovering around 50° the smallmouth are just getting ready to spawn. Fish the bluffs and rocky points with ned rigs, drop shot, or a swim bait will produce plenty of fish. My favorites this weekend were the PB &J colored Zman ned rigs, and the Okishira screw head with a 4" keiteck in a shad color. We also found walleye schooled up in about 20' of water and caught plenty of them also.
