They are all up and down this river man. We were sitting at a very random sand bar where I normally wouldn't fish but I knew there was a submerged log out there so I started picking at it with a crank and caught several but then I had that tell tell wave action and a bump so I gave him the craw.  I honestly think there is the biggest smallmouth on the entire river from 30 bridge to times beach. But I'm always walleye and hybrid fishing when I go down river  if I catch another walleye on a craw it might be all I need
