Ledges
Smallmouth tend to congregate both offshore and near steep drops onshore (particularly where shade and tall vegetation is abundant). "Jigs catch pigs" rings very true on this lake, especially green-pumpkin. I prefer a lighter jig this time of the year here as vegetation is sparse and not heavy. 3/8 oz - 1/2 oz stealth feider does the trick. Trimmed skirt and heavy-flutter trailer (trimmed down rage craw - green pumpkin) can be the ticket. Sunny, still days in the fall tend to yield the best results.

Reeds
Reeds with a minimum of 4+ ft of water (because it's so clear) particularly not far from a drop off or rocky bottom, the smallmouth would hit this particular whopper plopper in this darker color over the lighter ones. Any size smallie from 1-5 lbs would attack/follow and of course were more aggressive as the sun was going down. Recommend tying directly to braid.

Finding spawning flats then working the edges with the hair jig produced the best bites.
