Smallmouth BassTechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonFallStructureBouldersFound some large boulders in the sun near rip rap holding heat as well as bait, finesse football and Carolina rig were the only baits they would hit! Downsizing both was the key once I found the fish!

DT8 is $$$ in the fall, nice small profile with a tight wobble. Had a lot of success just covering water on rip rap shoreline, and taking more time switching casting angles when cover any points or sudden changes.
