Slump Period

Got out a few times between September 1st and October 14th. For whatever reason the smallmouth fishing was kind of tough for me. The Fall bite is what I look forward to all year and I just could not find it so for this year. Pretty much anything that I have hooked into has come off the top using either a popper or a prop bait. The tube has not drawn a bump in quite awhile. For the most part, what few fish I have brought to hand have been of good quality and put up some awesome fights. I have also hooked into quite a few pike during this time period. The pike are fun to catch but can leave a stink on your hands that just don't seem to want to wash off.
