Work the rock humps very slowly with tubes or ned rigs to trigger smallies to bite.

Reeds
Finding sparse reeds with shallow green weeds in shallow water bays throwing Chatterbaits or swimjigs through them will bring you success. -Baylor S

The water temp was 55 degrees. Smallies were still pre-spawn. We found roaming smallmouth up shallow near rocks, but those were not actively biting. We found active fish out on offshore rocky humps. Small black hair jigs and small paddle-tail swimbaits retrieved slowly over these rock humps produced the best results.

Rock reef inside turn. Had to have wind to activate the bite. Short jerks and long pauses.

Fish were cruising the shallows everywhere. We nabbed a few on jerkbaits, and tried other usual suspects for early season smallies. Eventually tossed a hair jig and after finding out how they wanted it presented ( you'll have to figure that out) it was lights out! We had numerous doubles and many fish in the 4-5 lb range, it being a weekday, we had them all to ourselves!

Fished a couple rock humps and points with medium sized paddle tail swimbaits. The smallmouth were roaming the rocks and feeding on small perch.

Water temp was 56 degrees. Some fish could be seen cruising shallow areas. However, the week prior had cooler than normal temps which pushed the big fish back out deep. These fish were feeding on schooling minnows and perch. Cast and SLOWLY retrieve a black hair jig or paddle tail swim bait around rock piles. The bigger the rocks, the better. Be sure to make contact with the rocks every so often.
