Topwater Fishing Giant Fall Smallmouth

Спорт

It's been a colder than average fall so far here in Minnesota. The water temps are dropping fast and topwater is done for the year. Or is it? Thanks to a hot water discharge heated stretch of river I found some giant smallmouth still willing to smash the spook!

    I just sent this to my snowboarding/fishing group text. I described it as a bedtime story from the Bob Ross of Smallies. We've had a terrible time out here in the East with flooded waterways (again and again) since May, and the fishing has been sketchy, but is picking up. I found a nice school of small Smallies prior to our sixth flood of the year a few days ago in the Upper Potomac that were loving the Zara Puppy (bone color). I lost count on 11-15" Smallies. Every single one of them, there was an instinct strike and a miss... I'd pause... twitch twitch... walk for a second... boom! It's always inspiring to see somebody doing great stuff with bass from a kayak. We will be trying to hit the Stripers hard in the coastal rivers exactly the same way that you hit these tanks. It's an annual fall tradition for us to try nothing but Spooks, Jrs or Puppies for at least a day, depending on what the fish see as food (rather than simply hit via instinct). The next couple of weeks tend to be our best chance at finding the big boys and girls up top. Thanks for the great vid, man! You have inspired and excited a small group of kayak fishers.

    Good luck out there, you guys deserve it with the poor water conditions all year. It’s supposed to warm up here on my days off this week so I’m hoping to hook into some chunky smallmouth! Not sure if they’ll be willing to hit the spook still but I’ll at least give it a try. I’m guessing with the cold water temps and some warm sunny days they’ll be up shallow and easy picking with a wacky worm.

    Thanks, man. It's still been pretty slow. The water temp is diving and the river is still very much receding from the last flood. We'd ordinarily be slamming good fish right now, but they seem to have lockjaw as the temp and clarity change on a daily basis. it's difficult to locate them. There's been one very good fish in the past few days, seen here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gn94vM2ifK2pj7g.html Enjoy the rest of your season!

Everything about your videos is extraordinary, from the scenery, the sounds of nature, the hushed tone of your narration, the way that fishing seems like it's second nature to you. My favorite thing about your fishing is the accuracy of your casts, which for me, is the most important aspect of fishing, especially when it comes to dealing with currents. Great channel and I'm looking forward to future content.

Its been a bad hurricane season.

Over here in Spain we don’t have smallies, but fall is my favourite time for fishing: largemouth attack fiercely all kind of lures and the light and colours of autumn are awesome, and with a perfect temperature too.

Tennessee ain't the state for Small Mouth by number, but there's some here and there, their just harder to hook i guess LOL" Anyway have a great one my friend, are mite i say King Sir later bro
