SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonFallStructureBouldersThis weekend there were a good amount of fisherman on the river and I was one of the few that were throwing artificial lures. The vision 110 and the max scent flatworm held their own against the live bait fisherman. The fish were grouped up so when I caught one I would usually catch more consecutively. The bottom still had slime on it so the suspending jerkbait and dropshot were a key to keeping my hook off the bottom. There is a video up on my YouTube channel, connected to my profile, that shows all the action and exactly my setups. Goodluck to anyone fishing as the weather gets colder.

The fish were not chasing anything. They were loaded up in slack water behind current breaks. Nothing worked but Ned rigs. Only fished a few hours in the afternoon and ended up with about 20 fish and 3 over 4 lbs with one nearing 6 lbs. Every day is different as the weekend prior they were on a jerkbait bite.
