Use and know your electronics, side imaging is very helpful in finding schools. Look for mud bottom bays 20'-35' of water. On your side imaging the fish will look like a bunch of dots or grains of rice and on 2D sonar they will look like a upside down Christmas Tree. Park over the School and drop down to them. Jig it, twitch it, bounce it, bang it of the bottom, see what is working today, if the bite is slow tip the treble with a small minnow head. I use a braid mainline and you can tie the mono direct to the braid or use an small swivel to combine the lines. the bigger fish are normally in the bottom of the school. Good Luck!

Fall is some of the best time of the year for Smallmouth Bass. Use your electronics to locate humps, look for ones with bigger the boulders the better. Vertical Jig the Rippin Raps over the top of the hump. I like to use fireline and tie it directly to the mono but you can use a small barrel swivel to connect them, or use only mono. Check the last couple feet of your line often for nicks and abrasions . Good Luck!
