Fall Smallmouth Movements Explained (Where Do They Go?)

[@live2fishofficial]

Another great video, much appreciated as it really focuses on the struggles here along the bank and elsewhere on LSC and Anchor Bay. Thank you!👏🏻👍🏻👊🏻💥🎣

[@cjscarborough83]

Big brain content right here! As a self professed smallie-Holocic, I can’t get enough of this type of content. It would be cool if you let subs or followers send you their body of water with any available navionics charts and have you break it down for them on here.

[@brnowak_fishing]

I love smallies too! That's a cool idea for sure

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Excellent Instructional Video!!! Might have to watch it a couple more times. Lot of info but that is good!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

[@codyphillips977]

[@jefwest8846]

question... so i am fishing a Pennsylvania river resoivoir situation... however up in my river section the water is 100 plus feet deep... and when it comes out into the main basin it comes up to a 10 to 15 foot flat... this runs all the way down to the dam where it goes back to 30 40 50 foot deep... i am trying to take your explanation aand apply to my situation... but my situation seems ti be bavkwards of the normal fall pattern you are describing... thought??

[@dmillz23]

When you going to come over to upstate NY and fish the st lawerence? Im from akwesasne (mohawk reserve) and we have a world renowned fishery.

[@brnowak_fishing]

I want to soon! Maybe next year

[@shiggityswa]

I’m ready to get into some fat fall bass. Do smallies in shallower reservoirs transition faster than the Great Lakes? Is photoperiod or temp more dictate the movement? You ever fish any of the reservoirs off the flint Tiber? (Holloway or Mott). Mott is interesting, there’s smallies but I’ve never been able to catch them consistently. The water level remains the same year round, there’s really not much current and the majority of the lake is less than 8’. Would love to figure out the smallies on it.

[@brnowak_fishing]

I’ve never fished either one of those. I believe those fish spread out more due to more “good” cover still in the water. Although the Great Lakes and glacial lakes can be tougher to find the “key spots” once you find them normally you’ll catch pods of fish. Smaller reservoirs like that with a lot of good cover spreads the fish out which can make them tough. Also the shallower water doesn’t bode well for the huge weather/temp changes we have

[@shiggityswa]

@@brnowak_fishing mott has been a struggle but it’s a fun struggle sometimes. I’ve never been able to find a pod of smallies, always scattered and they set up like a largemouth. I’d love to see how you’d break down a body of water like that.

[@jeffbirky1038]

I love to fish blade baits for fall smallies, but lose more fish than I care to admit...especially when they charge to the surface. Do you have any suggestions for how to play them to keep them buttoned up better?

[@brnowak_fishing]

I gotchu kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znq5e4Ohfa6smqM

[@jeffbirky1038]

Perfect. Thanks for the link! Do you keep your drag that loose all the time, or only loosen it after the hookset?

[@brnowak_fishing]

@@jeffbirky1038 I like it to start to barely slip when I set the hook. Then I can adjust it from there

[@dlach3139]

What about a river that isn’t a lake lol

[@bcleave88]

What about ponds?

[@brnowak_fishing]

If you have smallmouth in your pond, that’s amazing

[@bcleave88]

@@brnowak_fishing Lol yeah I guess I didnt think that question through. 😂
