Slower presentation was key for the day, and they were feeding well with fall on deck. Look for deeper water where it drops off from the shore line. Most of our bass were found here staging.

SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonWinterStructureFlooded BrushWe have had a very mild winter and the smallmouth don’t seem to mind. After a big storm came through Friday river was 2 feet over normal and pretty dirty. We found fish in Eddies where you expect them to be in the winter but pretty close to current seams. They weren’t shy about about eating the baits either had a couple make my line jump they ate the jig so hard. Ran up a local creek and caught some there too. Love the different colors of smallmouth.

Water was stained from 2" of rain earlier in the week. Drifting the boat with the current and bouncing baits along the bottom worked best.
