        We found smallmouth in deep slow water which is where you would expect them this time of year but the bigger ones were still in the faster moving water plus above and below the shoals.

        Actually we used a Hayabusa 3/0 screw lock hook. Our Custom painted shallow running crankbaits in Morning Dawn and the Keitechs were the baits of the day! 42 total between 3 of us with my buddy getting his PB 19.5" chunk of a smallmouth! It was 25 degrees when we hit the river but warmed ito the mid 60's in the afternoon!

        Great day for topwater fishing. No Wind, foggy morning. Water was crystal clear. Long casts with a top water spook, walking the dog, produced some great smallmouth bass action.

        Cloudy, cool. High temp of 60*. Wind WNW with gusts up to 20 mph made kayak fishing the river difficult. We found a big school of smallmouth on a shoal mid river. Fishing were busting and chasing small shad about 1-2 inches long. 2.8 keitech on a 1/8 oz. head brought tons of fish to the boat.
