Smallmouth BassTechniqueBlade BaitsSeasonFallStructureBrush PilesFished a kayak tournament last weekend and absolutely hammered the fish after making a move to brush piles. Targeted any structure I could see with a Z-Man Jackhammer and the fishing went from meh to amazing. I ended up catching about 15 keepers (above 12 inches) in the last 2 hours (from 2 PM to 4 PM). I fished quick and tried to hit the windy areas. That made for some frustrating times keeping the kayak in the right spot but I was rewarded with boating fish all afternoon. This is one of my favorite bodies of water after never fishing it until early this summer.

Deeper isolated grass patches 10-15 fow stroking a jig through that grass led to a ton of bites. But alot of them were short strikes and couldn’t get a hook into them.. was able to follow the grass edges with a spinner bait to get a few more bites.. but most were pike.
