I agree with the above but water is warming and I would bet that the smallmouth are in different stages. I would still try some winter time tactics (float-n-fly, jig, etc) if the hard jerk baits and spinners don't work well. I know some still having good luck on the fly. Somedays they seem intereted in jerkbaits and the next day they change so keep your options open and keep trying different lures until you find what works. Good luck.
