The Smallmouth have been phenomenal on the Mississippi River the past week. The shorelines continue to have fish spread out a ways and if you happen to find them deeper they are very much schooled up and eager to bite. Jigs and Sqaurebill crank baits like Strike kings chick magnet and kvd 1.5 in a shad color have been the key and moving off deeper a 5 or 6 xd depending on depth and how they want the bait presented. Isolated rock piles in anywhere from 10 to 20 ft have produced good numbers of fish.
