River Fisher 13,

I see your favorite Water is Greenville Creek, I fished that Creek a few times when I lived in OH before I retired here in WV. That is one pretty little Stream.

Practically all of my Fishing is done from a Kayak for Smallies on a Medium Size River. My most productive Lures by far have been 3 and 4 Inch Senkos (Yum Dingers and BPS) much less expensive than Yamamoto), Best color here is Carolina Pumpkin with a Chartreuse Tail ,Rebel Pop R in 1/8 OZ Foxy Momma, Gold/Black F9 Floating Rapala, and 4" Berkley and Kalin,s Grubs in Smoke and Green Pumpkin.

Budget wise these may not be the least expensive but they are worth the price for what they produce.

My go to is a 3 1/4" Zoom Fat Albert in Watermelon/red flake rigged on a 1/8oz jig head. The 1/8oz gives it a slow natural fall but fast enough for tail action.

2. Finesse Jig with curly tail trailer

3. Jackall I-shad on a shakey head

Number one is really hard to find but a real treasure if you do. These baits are all I would ever need for river smallies. I guess I could also add the Zara Spook for covering water in the last hour of daylight. I've really slayed em' more than once with this line up.
