I found the key to catching this fish was dragging the blade bait super slowly along and between rock piles. The fish are not very active so fishing slow and giving the fish a chance to make a decision makes a big difference in catching fish versus coming home with nothing.

Structure is key in the winter. If you can find structure in the 25’-45’ range, you will find smallmouth. Throw out a Megabass Dyna Response, and let it hit the bottom. Pop it up until you feel it flutter, then let it down. Let it sit again for 3-5 seconds. Then pop it again. Keep working it until you start landing fish. The Dyna Response is an incredible lure.
