The smallies were activly feeding on bigger rock reefs. They were spread out from anywhere between 4-12 feet of water. The bigger ones came on the deeper side, but the numbers were better the shallower you went. They liked the jerkbait worked slow with very long pauses.(around 10 sec) they would hit it when u would twitch it again. Caught fish from 2-5lbs with my biggest going 5.12 Spots like indian point and rocky reef produced some decent fish.
