October Smallmouth Bass Fishing: North Alabama...
What to Use When Smallmouth Bass Fishing...<%{~~<<
Regardless of which stream you choose to visit, always look for smallmouth to congregate around current. Shoals and rapids are nothing less than smallmouth bass fishing magnets. Either above or below the swift water, smallmouth bass love to ambush easy prey. In these areas, I like to use a spinnerbait or crankbait when smallmouth bass fishing. Both of these lures are search baits that can cover a large section of water in a short amount of time. Likewise, they both resemble the baitfish the bronzeback feeds on. Once the spinnerbait hits the water, give it a short jerk before you start a steady retrieve to get the blades spinning. The flash and vibration really get a feeding fish’s attention in the shoal water.

Thanks, Ron, welcome to the Forum EV, listen to Ron he knows what to do and he is from AL.
Welcome Vandy from Alabama Bill. There are some awesome waters to fish in North Alabama. The rivers and lakes are full of small mouth and spotted bass along with large mouth. Talk to local people and bait shops, join a local fishing club or pay a guide to take you out not to learn the spots to fish but how to fish and for what in that region of the state. Where in the North part do you live? Where you live has a lot to do with what you catch/fish for.
