Fishing the Rum River with whopper plopper. I look for shaded area along with cut off current. That seems to be where most of the fish are stacked at. For this one, I threw it to a shaded area and the fish came up as my plopper landed. It was a nice 4lbs Smallies.

Crawfish
Fish were holding tight to cover on lay downs . Ned rig worked well to pitch up near them to get bites. The biggest fish came when the lay downs were met with rocky or rip rap shoreline. If you manage to not get hung up in the lay down there will be fish there.

Smallmouth are targeting crawfish and bluegill. Football head jigs and shallow crankbaits have worked well especially on rocks and boulders.
