Fall Smallies!!

Gotta love the fall on the river!! Took a bit to find them and battled the wind all day, but in one spot in an hour we boated probably 15 smallmouth averaging about 18″. Caght about 35-40 smallmouth most in the 17-20″ range with a few above 20″ and big fish pushing 21″. First fish of the day was a walley, caught my biggest northern of my life probably around 12-13 pounds. Took last Wednesday off from work with a buddy as we knew it would be last sunny day for awhile and it paid off!! What a great day and love those smallies!!

Great call on getting out before all the rain set in. Thanks for the report.

where did you go / find them and how did you fish them?
Great fish..

We fished the Mississippi river and i will keep it at that, they were stacked up in shallower water away from the deep water ledges/breaks we were used to, they were on darker colored sandy flats just outside of weeds, maybe 3-4 FOW which is rare for me this time of year. We were using swimbaits as you have to make it look as real as you can this time of year!!
