Its time for Small Jaws

If you are as excited about big small mouth as I am then you know that as the weather cools the fishing gets hot.
As fall approaches ole small jaws starts his feeding frenzy. Shad begin to ball up and enter the coves and so do the big smallies. Dig those spoons or crankbaits out of the tackle box and look for bait fish. Chances are when you find shad you'll find small mouth.
River fishing can be REALLY good, especially below dams. When they generate water through the turbines this will push the bait fish towards the banks and smallies lie and wait to ambush them.
If you prefer fishing with live bait, then this is the best time to do it. Store bought minnows work well but catching your own is best. Throw nets can be a little tough to master but not impossible to learn...just some practice.
Most trophy small mouth are caught in the fall and winter months, so when all your buddies are in the woods hunting you'll have the lake to yourself and the odds will be in your favor to land that monster brownie!
Good luck and go get 'em.
