They weren't exactly jumping into the boat but caught around 15 smallies tonight. Beat the banks and docks searching for fish with the squarebill. Most of the fish caught were up very tight to the bank. The current was pretty strong especially as we got closer to the Champlin bridge.

Pretty tough fishing, current and water levels are dropping and water was down about a foot in 4 days. fish were near but not on any structure. Faster current was key and deeper water. Bite was slow and was almost exclusively a ned rig day...
