Find the reeds in deeper water (5ft or more) and just pitch right outside of it and the largemouth will come pick it up. For the smallmouth bass, find the rock flats and pitch onto or off the edge of it.

Spent a few days on Pokegama pre-fishing for a tournament. Found the big Smallmouth on the edges of the main lake structure travelling in groups. Using forward facing sonar we were able to track them down and make precision casts to those groups of fish. Most came on drop shot, tubes or jerkbaits.
