I was shore fishing the river section of the lake targeting shallow submerged vegetation with a spinnerbait in dirty water, given the dirty water, I was using a hybrid blade between a willow and Colorado. I was on a wind-blown shoreline right before the rain rolled in and it proved to be productive. Hard to beat spinnerbaits around submerged grass!

I found some fat smallmouth that seemed like they were getting ready to spawn on the hard rock. The water was still pretty cold in the current being in the mid 50s, but that didn’t affect their willingness to eat. The ned rig came through and overall a great day on the river!

I saw some fish busting on bugs on the surface. Honestly thought they were just carp as they’re getting ready to or are already spawning in the shallows. Decided to just make a couple bombs casts over the TALL cattails, because why not? To my surprise, a nice 3lber decided to blow up on my frog. Ended the night with a limit likely near 12lb. Awesome evening trip from shore!

The water is really starting to cool off with water temps in the low 60s. Lots of the vegetation in the backwaters is dying off. I was able to find some pads that had some life left in them that were keeping the water clear and full of oxygen. There’s lots of young of the year shad in the system right now so I was doing everything I could to imitate those and it paid off with some beauty largies. Tight lines folks!

Smallmouth were not exactly active but the bigger fish were chasing shallow squarebills and swim jigs. Fish were chasing moving baits.

Smallmouth bass in the lake and river channels are actively chasing moving baits like swim jigs and shallow diving crankbaits. The fish are hanging out in rocky areas and feeding on schools of shad.
