Yes sir!!

Chandler Timothy Thank you, there is the Blue River a couple hours from me that I was looking into taking a trip. It has smallies in it. It seems like most places within and hour drive of me have a heavy population of spotted bass. I don’t have much experience with swimbaits but I do have some confidence with spinnerbaits and chatterbaits so I’m definitely going to try those out. Appreciate you!

What do you like throwing for small mouth? I’ve never caught one.

Today I’m calling it a mental lapse on my end just decided to switch what I know all of a sudden. I also have been using a floro leader then got lazy today and didn’t tie one to the end of my braid which definitely felt different setting the hook.

Nice one sir!

Get some! I hope they had a blast!

Thanks Barde

Henry Shepherd Brian and the guys recommend throwing along/ parallel to the bank if the bank is real shallow like a upside down frisbee then I will throw a crank that doesn’t dive that much. If the bank looks more like a mixing bowl then I through something that dives deeper. I want the bait to bump and knock into the structure on and near the bottom.

It hit it and ran away so fast. I had just caught a 1-1/2 pounder a few casts before and saw three big fish move away when I reeled that one in.

I rewatched the live. Brian said that he does fish vertical structure (bridge pylons, docks, and steep banks). What other kinds of vertical structure are there commonly?

Freaking hogs man!
