im fishing this weekend on a lake with a good number or smallies. i've never really fished for smallies in a lake. but the water is slightly stained and water temps are between 55*-58*.

I found some flats and points but im really not sure what to try.

any ideas????? thanks guys!

There are a ton of great threads here on smallmouth fishing. Check the library above.

That being said, get yourself a bunch of 1/8 oz. plain lead jig heads and an assortment of 3" curly tailed grubs. Make sure you have smoke, white and chartreuse at least. You'll do about as good as you can casting points and humps with these.

A few bags of 5" Senkos and Gamakatsu Finesse Weedless hooks. Wacky rig the worms and you're good to go with a back up to the above. Make sure you have some watermelon w/blk flake. Good Luck!

I agree with the jig/grub combo. I'd also try a jerkbait on the flats, especially when the sun gets up a bit.
