How to Catch Smallmouth Bass in Ultra Clear Water!

In this video, we’re chasing smallmouth bass across clear water flats, using a mix of proven techniques to trigger aggressive strikes. As water temps drop and baitfish begin to move, smallmouth bass become highly active—and we’re right there with them!

We focus on expanded flats where baitfish are staging, using the wind to drift naturally through productive zones. Key baits in this session include:

Watch as we break down how to locate bait, use wind-driven drifts to our advantage, and adapt our presentation to match the mood of the fish. Whether you’re fishing lakes, reservoirs, or rivers, these techniques will help you dial in your fall smallmouth game.
