Smallmouth are on the move back up shallow. We caught most of our fish in 8-14 feet on rock to sand transitions and smaller rock spots that concentrated fish. Key technique was a dropshot. Move it a few inches and let it sit. Dead sticking was most productive. Fish are on the move, now is a great time to get up here. Only get better from here on out

The smallmouth have transitioned to fall habits, couldn't get bit on ned / drop shot. Fish were caught on shallower transitions, grass to rock and rock to sand.
