Catching some good smallmouth early in the morning (before the ski boats and lake lice get out). Had a 4 pound 7 ounce today........

Catching them on watermelon or pumpkin plastics C-rigged around the dam area. Water is up about 10 feet and just a bit murky. Temps by the dam are 82-84 degrees.

Saw a few schooling fish, but they weren't steady. Just slash for about 20 seconds and vanish. Couldn't tell if they were sand bass or blacks (too far).
