One of my last days of the season was out on the Big Pond. With the rougher conditions and cold weather I focused my time on large boulders the size of the hood of your truck, or as big as your boat. If I found one smallmouth, I typically would find a few - but you had to capitalize on your 'catch window' and throw back in the same area as quickly as possible. If you spent too much time taking pictures or admiring your catch you could miss the window to keep them fired up in the colder temperatures. When finesse applications were not working - I would move to a Deep Jerkbait and normally got freight trained on the the very long pause. White and ProBlue colored baits were a key to the bites.
