I would love to find them there also. Smith is my favorite lake and i almost get depressed in the summertime because of how hard it gets to fish it. My only suggestion would be to rotate baits. I have found crackers close to bream beds and they would only bite a worm. wouldn't touch a cricket. I finally pulled a pretty good haul out of a private lake last weekend and had several over 10". i tried everything from 6" off the bank to slow reeling off the bottom. That day it all seemed to revolve around the time of day. i started around 1:30 and caught my majority of the fish from 5- dark.
Let me know if you come up with anything.
