Smallies were caught on top of humps and long points with limited vegetation. They were cruising less than 5 feet and feeding heavily on crawfish. Ned rig worked great. Largemouth were caught on deep weed lines and cuts with suspended panfish, DT 16 and drop shot caught fish.

Saw a school busting bait and tossed the drop shot in. Those fish are extremely curious and picky and it takes awhile to trick them if impatient. I caught the nice one after the burst of small ones in the beginning happened. Being patient was key.

Found a lot of beds early this week (Tuesday/Wednesday) once that water temp jumped up bigtime. A lot of them were unoccupied, some beds had pairs on it?’, and some the bucks were just making the beds.

The smallmouth were mostly on beds last weekend. I would throw a hair jig around when I would be searching for a bed and then use a dropshot to catch the smallmouth when I found them on a bed. A black hair jig was key as well as a white senko o my dropshot

Kind of a mixed bag of tricks. Water is super clear so finesse and long casts were the keys. Got most of them on the spinning gear and a TRD. A few others on a jerk bait.
