Smallies were staged in areas with large amount of shad. Mostly found them in the shallows near steep ledges. A white jackhammer worked well for getting them to bite. Was also able to get them on the ledges with a shad colored jerk bait. Found a few decent largies in the shallows feeding also.

Fun day at the sip goose was hot throwing a senko at the cut backs and letting the current take it was the ticket !
