Smallmouth are starting to get active as the water temperature goes down. Early fall, main lake points, and boulders, rock veins are all key areas to concentrate on. Fluke style baits in white, chartreuse and bubblegum have all been hot tickets. Work them 6”-12” under the water with short pauses between twitches. It is an absolute train wreck of a bite when you can see those smallies crush it.

Cherokee lake is without a doubt a challenging fishery in the fall. I just finished up a tournament where we found the bulk of our action on the main lake. We concentrated on areas where the river channel swung against rocky shorelines. Islands and sharp points were areas where smallmouth could easily ambush shad or feed on the many crawfish that live around the rocks.
