I have some smaller green tubes I will try rigged on a jighead. I'll post some pics in a few days if I catch anything nice!

I heard the fish move deeper this time of year and don't chase minnows as much. Where should I focus my casts? Deeper holes? And what bait would you guys throw? I just got an alabama rig and will need something to switch to once it gets hopelessly tangled in a tree branch or root wad...which judging from the cost of this lure, will be very quickly lol

I am looking for an outfitter to shuttle a vehicle or two paddlers at one of these access points. Any suggestions on who to use? Also, any suggestions on lures to use for smallies? I want to try an A-rig after turner mill due to the soft plastic restriction through the blue ribbon trout area, but am curious if anyone has any go-to lures. Not going to use live bait. Thanks

Ok. I'll keep that in mind! Hopefully the rain holds off for tomorrow and I'll give it another shot.

Are the very deep slower moving pools the best place to catch fish? I still am developing my eye for frogwater unfortunately. I have a feeling I've been fishing a lot of it Maybe throwing a tube or soft craw will work better this time

How has the fishing been on the big river on the irondale to desloge area? I went down there a few weeks ago and didn't catch a thing! Maybe it was the weather or temperature? It was a bit chilly, but I didn't think weather had much effect on the rivers. Last time I went there maybe 10 years ago, it was the best river fishing I'd ever had. Lots of goggle eye, a few largemouth, and a smallie. That was the summertime, however. I read that spots may be taking over in the river and ruining the population of other species... Is this stretch of river productive lately? Maybe it was just an off day. Threw everything in the book at the water. Spinners, cranks, worms, tubes. And my friend was flyfishing. He only caught one pumpkineed. Also, when is the spawning time in rivers? How much does that affect the fishing?
