Any top water action going on? Haven’t caught a smallmouth in my 52 years and planning on going next week. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks in advance
Be there at dawn and beat the rocks with a crankbait with yellow in it. Topwater is probably done with unless you catch the perfect day and I don't see that in the forecast.
I have done well all the way to thanksgiving with a spook as long as the water does not get below 60. I do better on clay, sand, and gravel points for small mouth. Like others have said, if you cant catch any on top pick up a squarebill and cover water.

I threw a repo-man bunches and didn't get a sniff, they wanted something sub-surface
Drag the main lake shoreline with a craw in 10-15 ft and hold on. Especially along the bank with the giant slabs of rock. You'll known them when you see em.
