Amazing day of fishing and catching smallmouth ranging in size from 3 to 5 pounds! Water was high and muddy, so fish were hanging tight to the bank. But, they proved to be willing biters for most of the day.

With a freeze warning from the night heading into the day, the smallies were slow moving. The fish were in 4-8 fow. Out side of current seams with boulders. Slow moving ned rigs or drop shot was key to getting the fish to commit. The water level was 5.5 on the river gauge. The water was also slightly stained. I added scent to my plastic.

The slow bite using ned rigs and tubes was not working. I sped it up cranking hard against the current in feeder creeks. It started producing steadily

Was targeting smallmouth but ended up with a few largemouth in the river. Did catch some smallmouth on the smaller side. Was casting towards the laydowns on the bank and slowly crawling the sleeper craw back with a few hops. Largemouth were just sucking the craw in. very subtle bite. 12lb invisx line and using a 7'3" alpha angler zilla rod.

I was cranking shallow boulders in a creek mouth. Had a slow day but fish trickled in. Weather was sunny, 68 and very gusty. The river was running 7’ on the river gauge.

I fished a very similar pattern to yesterday. Shallow boulders crashing into them in creek mouths. The river was down to 6.4 on the gauge I use for the Susquehanna. It was a very productive pattern with multiple fish caught. There was a big drop in air temp over night.
