Checking on the kids...

Since I've spent most of the last couple weeks in Tennessee I figured I'd better check on my smallies now that I'm home. No big numbers but I caught a couple good ones on a clear with black flake grub in shallow fast water. What I found numbers of was channels. I caught seven on the grub. Yep seven on a lure, no idea what was going on there. I bet the channel fishing would have been epic if I had some bait with me. This was right as the wind came up and it began to darken before the storm so I guess they went into a bit of a feeding frenzy. The channels, like the smallmouth were up in about a foot of very fast water right where the riffle ends and the pool begins to start.
