Focused on lay downs on flats off the main channel. Had to have moderate current and bait close by. Fish still seemed scattered a bit and not really grouped up but areas reloaded. We would get one or two in an area and then let his rest for awhile and then repeat.
- SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueShakey HeadsSeasonFallStructureRock Pile
Water was dropping and low clarity. Lots of floating eel grass. We caught most of our fish targeting rock points and current seams off the main channel and secondary channels. First thing in the morning topwater was producing but the majority of the fish came dragging Tokyo rigs and shaky heads along current seams.

Water temps have dropped to the low 70s and muddy on the main river. If you can find a mudline with clean water coming in from a slough that’s the juice. We found one such spot that had a nice flat with a rock pile that had fish grouped up. We put more than 40 fish in the boat off of one small area. We started with moving baits and cleaned up dragging a Tokyo rigged rage bug and a senko style bait.
