I have been out on the river multiple trips in July. I was recently out on July 9th, and we hammered 25 smallmouth bass in a 4 hour trip. We exclusively threw zman original chatterbaits the whole time we fished and also landed 4 walleye and 4 northern pike along with our smallies. The flow rate is just about perfect on the river right now and the bite has recently been extra hot for us. tons of fish being caught with a few large fish mixed in as well. The best way we have found to catch large numbers of fish was to throw your baits as close as you can to the bank as well as finding good current seams. best cover was in front of, next to and behind log jams and protruding rocks. The chatter bait is relatively simple to use and doesn't take much skill to identify the bite. You simply cast out the bait and give the bait a nice steady retrieve. Do not burn the bait back to the boat. the bait creates a ton of vibration and motion in your rod which seems to trigger a lot of bites, and when the rod stops vibrating set the hook. I feel like the chatterbait is often overlooked and highly underrated when it comes to smallmouth fishing, but it could definitely help you up your smallmouth game. It should be a staple on your next outing to the Mississippi. I promise you will not be disappointed. A final hot tip is to make sure you focus on your retrieve all the way to completion as we had multiple fish follow the bait all the way to the boat and hit right next to the boat.

Troll or hand jig a ned rig just where visibility of the bottom ends. Moving current was better than slow water. Purple or orange were both productive. Caught a few bass on other things, mainly a swimbait, but the ned rig was THE producer.
