Where Fall Smallmouth Go When the River Gets Cold (Most Anglers Miss Them)

Bass Cast Radio

About
As water temps drop, river smallmouth quietly leave their summer haunts and start moving toward deeper, slower pools. In this episode, we break down how to follow that migration, from shallow morning bites around rocky seams to deeper drop-offs as the sun climbs. We cover how to use current breaks, pick the right jig weight, and stay stealthy in gin-clear water with light fluorocarbon. We also talk soft plastics that keep catching fish, including HellaMite, Scorpion, Lizards, Beetles, and 8-inch MagDingo worms, plus the terminal tackle that keeps your presentation natural. Hit play before your next float.
