Yup! You should look at the live session I just did with Trevor Lo! We were talking about northern smallies this time of year. 

so you actually see them busting on shad? what are you using to catch them with so far?

the line through works good for that and especially with really big baits. Have you listened to the pod Oliver Ngy and I did on fishing big baits?

and a small too! what state are you from? this looks like my favorite type of fishing!

Catfish love a chatter bait on that river. Im willing to bet that's what you caught them on!

what part of the river are you catching them on a square bill? which section is your favorite?

all on artificial lures. This was on the Zman shad fry!
