Matt Kehrer
Mississippi River (Monticello) (MN)
Matt Kehrer reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Keitech Fat Swing Impact 3.8" on Mississippi River (Monticello). Additional comments from this report: "Took the kayak out on 10/8 and floated from kadler Ave - Nashua ave. Water was low but I didn't have to get out and drag the kayak at all. Water temps were warm 68-69. Smallmouth were all over the swimbaits, definitely good numbers of fish. You could catch them anywhere on the river but 2-4' deep where there were plenty of boulders was the best area. "

Omnia Community Member
Waconda Lake (KS)
Omnia Community Member reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Keitech Fat Swing Impact 3.3" on Waconda Lake. Additional comments from this report: "A tougher bite right now due to all the shad in the lake. I have never seen so many!! Caught several nice smallies slow retrieving a swim bait in 8-15’ of water off deeper rock structure. If you feel weight, set the hook! Lack of wind, which has been the case lately, makes the bite slower. If we get some wind, fishing will be better. "

Mike Kohler reported catching Northern Pike using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) technique and Keitech Fat Swing Impact 3.8" on Snelling Lake. Additional comments from this report: "I was throwing a 4/0 EWG underspin hook set up with a 3.8" Keitech smallmouth magic swimbait. I had colored the tail with a chartreuse garlic dip. Snelling is not a deep lake but it does have a lot of submerged vegetation. I work submerged weed edges into deeper water (7-8') for the most consistent action. A steady retrieve with a occasional pause was the most effective way to generate a strike that day."
