Fall fishing is in full swing. Smallies are grouped up on offshore rock humps in 20-35 feet of water. If you have them use them because the max scent flatworm is still the go-to bait. Fish are aggressive so no need to let it soak. Make as many casts as possible covering a ton of water to find the active groups. Once you find them, it will be lights out. Switch over to a WOO! tungsten 1/4 oz ned head if the bites get slow, and you should fire the school back up.

Drop shot on coontail weedlines was the way to generate bigger bites.

Fishing wasn't the greatest but still managed to get a decent amount drop shotting a Roboworm on deep weedlines.

Running and gunning was key. 90% of the fish came on the drop. There is no need to fish the bait for long. It is almost like flipping and pitching, but you're in 15-25 FOW. Smallmouth are in the roaming stage, looking for food before starting to school up heavily when water gets below 50. Enjoy the bite while it's here!

Humps
The smallmouth have been cruising the humps in their packs. The bite was tougher this weekend but managed to get a few to cooperate. Running and gunning are key as most bites came on the fall with a few coming right below the boat. Making use of the areas nearby to weeds seemed to be key which means they are feeding on the perch and smaller gills in the area. The bite should only get better in the next few weeks.
