Greetings All;
As we get ready to celebrate another 4th. of July Holiday weekend, many folks will be heading to their favorite river, lake or stream that holds these scrappy fighters to enjoy some fishing. Well folks, right now those smallies are active and hungry. Best baits to use for the upcoming weekend are some good old topwater stickbaits. Smallmouth just love these and right now they are hitting them like crazy. As a second, try using some type of spinnerbait or inline spinner. These also will yield good catches.
Try and fish current break areas where the bass can hide from the main current and ambush passing prey. These areas will hold the majority of the active fish. If your fishing current, cast upstream from your target and let the current float your lure down past the fish. Use an occasional twitch and hang on. If smallmouth are there, you will know in a hurry.
With great year classes of smallmouth bass available all up and down the Mississippi River, look for the great fishing to last right up into the Fall of the year. Hopefully you can get out and enjoy this weekend by going after some of these very aggressive
smallmouth.
Note: The tactics I talk about here will work in lakes and streams also.
Enjoy the Holiday weekend, be safe and save a few "Firecracker Smallmouth" for me.
Till Next Time, Take Care and I'll See You On The Water.....................
