Absolutely tough day on Smith! The bite was very lethargic. I caught one on a DT 14 that was a short (14 inch) and another on a spinnerbait that was a short (14 1/4 inch). The water is still at winter pool and between 50-52 degrees depending on where you are on the lake.

These big spotted bass are getting ready to spawn! A 1/8 oz Owner under spin and a 3.3 inch white Keitech got it done for us! These fish are really aggressive and chasing everything that looks like bait.

On the water from 730am-300pm, mostly fished creek channels off main lake. Targeted spotted bass suspended in the mouth of the creeks in about 10-15 ft of water. Caught a few on drop shot rigged with a Robo-worm. Also caught a few on jackhammer chatterbait around laydowns in the creeks. Water temps were around 57 degrees. Best 5 went for about 11lbs.
