Never fished it personally, but l do mainly 95% of my smallie fishing in a large river in my area.. soft plastic crawfish on a jighead such as the Yum craw papi are great baits. Also as someone mentioned above 3 inch grubs soft plastic work great also.. try topwater action early morning with floating crankbaits such as Rapala Pop R or buzzbaits.. later in the day when fish maybe deeper try Senkos rigged wacky style, or Texas.. if hellgrammites are plentiful in the body of water a hellgrammite imitation has always done me well.. Rebel makes a hellgrammite plug and there are also some soft Plastics on the market and I believe Berkley gulp makes one as well. Good luck!
