I found the key to catching this fish was dragging the blade bait super slowly along and between rock piles. The fish are not very active so fishing slow and giving the fish a chance to make a decision makes a big difference in catching fish versus coming home with nothing.

The winter grind is on! Here is the scoop. Find some open water that contains smallmouth. Look for long tapering underwater points, and creek channels. The fish are going to be in about 25’-45’ of water. Throw out the Damiki Vault, and let it hit the bottom. Hop it back to you by reeling up your slack and then popping it off the bottom. If you are in the right areas, you should catch a decent fish about every half hour. Good luck out there!
