Time for the Yellow Hoss Fly (Yellow Asprin Head), Ryan. 1/4oz fished on 6lb Flourocarbon, drag it on the bottom SLOW SLOW and SLOWER. No trailer. The jig looks yellow but Billy Westmoreland told Steve Headrick that the yellow color is not what it is 20 feet under water. Fish it in 15-30 foot of water, points next to the river channels that lead back to spawning areas with pea gravel. The Smallies will start putting on eggs HEAVY right now and no matter the water temp will start staging to go spawn starting next month on the full moon. Study your map and think if I was a Smallie where would I spawn, then work backwards from these areas to find the points, and especially the ones with deeper water with dropoffs close by for the honey holes right now.
