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.

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.

River Channels
Fishing deep guts in the backs of the creek channels right away in the morning was key to catch keeper size Spotted Bass. Throwing a small swimsuit and a Shakey head with a finesse worm.

Also used 6th Sense Clout 5.4 in Green Pumpkin Juice for wacky rig which was main presentation but the worm isn’t listed above. We ran some points, mainly secondary points, and ledges down spawning banks. Smith lake is full of “shelf” rock, keeping boat 20ish feet off bank casting wacky worm and craws up to 1’-2’ of water and letting fall on slack line, working to edge of shelf/ledge slowly then letting fall off ledge on slack line. Majority of bites came on fall even on the smaller berkley baits. 18lb line ended being to large and downsized to 14lb and had better success. Starting at beginning of pockets and working the first 3/4 of way back with 90% of fish caught coming in the 8’ range. 70% of fish caught were spotted bass 30% large mouth. Biggest fish caught was large mouth obv 4.06 and spot 2.15. Fished in the sipsey fork entire time.
