Fall smallies

[steverowbotham]

Finally got my old man out to do some fall smallie fishing last week.  Fish were on fire in the 28-42 foot flats, chasing small herrings.  Multiple double headers and scraped up a 24-25 pound bag of them.  Still no fall giants showing up for us, but with the weather finally starting to cool off, they should put on the feed bag and get fat for us.

Planning a fall trip myself next weekend. What techniques were using to catch them? Drop shot? tubes?

Those are some great northern smallies. Looks like your dad had a great time.

Those are some great smallies!  And if you had a 25lb bag, you definitely had some giants.  (Although that 7lb monster is a tank)

very nice catch.  Thanks for sharing.

Those 7's are the ones we look for.
Had a decent morning this morning before work.

Sweet smallies!

It amuses me greatly every time you express mild disappointment in a 25 lb. bag.

I know I don't have the best eyesight but I see some giant smallies in those pictures. The fight like no other, nice pics.

Simply incredible! Those are some smallie hogs if ever I saw any. Congrats on some great outings, Im sure every smallie angler that see's this is thinking the same as I am right now. You guys should be doing the superbowl td dance in those pics. Especially the 10/12 pic,..OMG!,.... smallie heaven says I !

I'm still trying to catch my first one ever ,and he's disappointed in a 25 lb. bag.LOL.I'm going to get one sooner than later I hope.

Beautiful color on these fish! Awesome pictures!

Nice smallies man, they're for real. You don't have to say what you got them on but they are looking like drop shot fish in 28 ft. of water. Good luck and good fishing.
