    In this latest “Hooked Up!” webisode from In-Depth Outdoors, the guys are fishing in the fog and singing tunes from the musical “Annie” while catching big smallmouth. Why? Honestly, we’re not sure.

    For those that extend the bass season well into the fall, what’s your favorite presentation for cold-water smallmouth?

    Learn to throw tubes for fall smallmouth bass with In-Depth Outdoors “Hooked Up!” host Greg Huff and his guest Jason Holmer, of BassUtopia.com. Huff and Holmer filmed this segment on Minnesota’s Lake Mille Lacs, but this pattern will work throughout the upper Midwest on most natural, glacial lakes with rocky bottoms.

    Good timing! I’ve had “fall bite” on the brain since mid-August!!! I have a lake that is similar to Mille Lacs in providing structure and is filled with TANK smallies. Biggest we’ve netted was 22.5″, no weight taken, but we’ve been getting them over 20 with some regularity over the summer so I can’t wait for the fall feedbag!

    When they’re still hanging shallow near the breaks, tubes and flukes have proven to be effective, as well as a big, single bladed white spinnerbait with a long trailer (of choice). I’ve also had some luck on Mann’s Baby Minus 1’s as long as the water temp is 50 or higher.

    Have a great fall guys and thanks for the video! It really got me jacked up!

    I LOVE the fall bite, especially on Mille Lacs!

    Holmer and I went up there last Thursday for a scouting trip (i.e. no camera or filming), and I caught a dozen smallies and Holmer caught THREE dozen — most were in the 3- and 4-pound range, but Holmer caught two or three over five pounds, plus three 4-pound walleyes.

    All but one were caught on green-pumpkin tubes.

    Thanks for watching!
