The hula grub on a football head is an amazing bait to throw when the bite gets tough or the water is very cold! Dragged it around some rock transition areas and managed to get some bites I couldn’t get on other baits!

Focused my time on rock points that were in direct sunlight, slow rolling with this flat sided crank with occasional pauses and change in speeds!

DT8 is $$$ in the fall, nice small profile with a tight wobble. Had a lot of success just covering water on rip rap shoreline, and taking more time switching casting angles when cover any points or sudden changes.

If you love throwing power baits, fall smallie fishing on the river is a blast! Catch em on Rippin Raps, Jerkbaits and swimbaits! If you can find a concentration, try dragging a carolina rig for that big kicker.

18-22 ft seemed to be the best. Get just outside the current and tip the Rapala jigging rap with a head of a fathead. Had to move a couple times to find them. We also used tip ups with shiners and they produced a couple as well.

Found some large boulders in the sun near rip rap holding heat as well as bait, finesse football and Carolina rig were the only baits they would hit! Downsizing both was the key once I found the fish!
