Targeting smallmouth bass in the fall time. Looking for schools of bait in 15'-18' and slow rolling the umbrella rig through them from all angles. Key tips: use the 3.3" keitech's on the outside hooks and the off color 3.8" keitech on the main hook

I drifted along weed edges in 11-15' of water at the beginning of fall. A recent cold front brought the lake surface temperature down from the low 70s to the mid 60s. Perch and other small bait fish are clearly moving into shallower water, pushed by temperatures and heavy winds. Finding weed breaks and slowly jigging i1baits (locally made by Mike Yarema) along those edges produced some nice walleye mixed with the occasional perch. As the water temperature decreases even more fish will be found in these areas.
