One of many Smallmouth's fought so far this fall.

With the transition from Fall to Winter approaching, the fishing is only going to get better. The fish have started to feed heavily to gorge themselves for the Winter months. The majority of the fish that I am catching are all on baits that resemble a baitfish such as a Shad. Look for massive groups of these baitfish, such as shad balls, and that is where you should find a majority of your feeding fish. Lately I have been spotting smallmouths feeding on shad at the top of the water column, therefore I like to throw a topwater walking bait or Popper. The fish seem to key in on noise and splashes if they are on the hunt for food and will willingly except your bait as a meal. If anyone is wanting to go fishing, feel free to get ahold of me and we can figure some plans out. My best advice is get out on the water as much as possible and enjoy ‘em while you can before the water ices over. Good Luck to all.
