1. How shallow i would suggest a small rapala that replicates the bait in the area try rainbow trout about an inch or inch and a half

2. Artificial Crawfish or Hellgrimites.

I prefer the Hellgrimites.

Just cast upstream and let the artificial drift back, on the bottom.

3. spring lizards if you can get you 6 spring lizards you`ll catch 50 smallmouth easy we do it at the new river all the time want more info email me

4. crank baits and hard deep diving jerk baits reel 'em fast and than stop for maybe dose the trick for me got me a 8 ponder that way!!!

plz give me best answer!!! i need the points BAD!!!!! PLZ
