Horizontally September

  As water temperatures gradually cool, the lakes eventually turn over, and smallmouths slide deeper to the point of wintering, the tackle box closes. As these events simultaneously occur, my boat’s tackle selection lessens each week – and the majority of gear and tackle I’ve carried up to this point will no longer be needed.

The Features of Flats

  Trip after trip, and the later we got into September month, the smallmouth bite was steadily improving it seemed.

Simply Smallmouths

  We’ve all observed that guy shore fishing from the river bank, or standing at the front deck of his boat, who’s brought with him all the gear he owns. He’s got so much shit laying around everywhere, that he doesn’t know what to do. You’d wonder whether he has a hoarding problem, or didn’t

Largemouths thrive in slop, utilizing it for their living quarters and prolific feeding. In these locations, largemouths frequently hunt for small prey that
  Largemouths are comfortable in warmer, shallower waters. They are also efficient predators in algal bloom conditions. Come mid-summer under 78-to-82-degree water temps., largemouths from these waters feed heavily to maintain their robust weights.
  There is no bad time to catch big largemouths in mid-summer, because they are prolific feeders with voracious appetites, and tolerate well to summertime heat. If I had to identify the best summer season windows, they are the bluegill spawn in June, the establishment of deep green weeds at summer’s peak, and the offshore
