Smallmouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonFallStructureLedgesHard bottom with current and deep +15' water nearby was the key. Drift the Ned with the current. Almost as if you were fly fishing. Adjust weight to just tick the bottom. Water is still a bit too warm for a good fall run.

WalleyeTechniqueVertical Jigging Mid Depth (10-19')SeasonFallStructureBouldersUse your electronics to find areas with boulders. Then troll around looking for fish. Once a school is found spot lock or anchor and vertically jig with a minnow or a Dubuque rig. Hair jigs will also be effective.

With changing discharge rates, areas that had current yesterday didn't have them today. Used mainly a Ned rig, but also caught fish on a tube. I also worked a crankbait without success.

Found the bass on the current seams. Fish the jig with or perpendicular to the current maintaining contact with the bottom. Fish were anywhere from 6-14' of water.

I used a Ned rig to locate the fish, and then worked the area with a Gobius. A painfully slow drag, feeling it bump off the rocks. The Gobius produced the bigger fish.

Look for current near deep water.
SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonFallStructureRiver ChannelsAnywhere you can find current with deep water (10'+) nearby you will find fish. Most fish today were close to shore. Cast the ned rig upstream and let the current pull it, keeping your line tight enough to feel the strike. Drop-shot with a power minnow also caught fish.
