Late-Summer River Smallies
Late-Summer River Smallies
Keep a bead on your surroundings and fish poppers for success
MUSKEGON, Mich. (August 20, 2025) – When it comes to feeding behavior, smallmouth bass are generalists, and you can catch them a lot of different ways on any given day. Sometimes they will focus on specific forage – for example, crawfish, certain baitfish species, and at some times of the year they’ll start capitalizing on insects, and after a rain, frogs, salamanders, really anything that washes into the river. Point is, late-summer river smallies can be caught a lot of different ways on different presentations. And you must keep an eye open for preferred habitat and strategize your efforts in high-probability areas. 
River Conditions/Time of DayDuring late-summer, river levels are generally lower and clearer than earlier in summer. Water temps are still relatively high in the mid-70s into the low 80s on most rivers throughout smallmouth country. But the fish are still going to be active. Some days, especially if it’s cloudy or crummy, smallies may be active all day, but a lot of times when sunny in late-summer, they’re going to be more active in the morning and afternoon to evening. Veteran river guide Jay Anglin in the Michigan/Indiana/Illinois corridor and river smallmouth bass expert noted: “River smallies feed on both sight and sound. On most rivers there will be smallies feeding on crawfish around cover at any point in time besides everything else available. Especially this time of year, you really must figure out where they are in terms of depth, shade, and water flow – the fish really seeking out cooler, oxygenated water but are moving around throughout the day for feeding opportunities.”Anglin continued: “They’re very adaptive. They’ll change gears quickly because they’re not necessarily locked into one food source. It’s not always a match the hatch situation like trout. Whereas trout might be totally focused on a certain mayfly, a smallie will take advantage of the fly hatch, but also switch gears and go chase down baitfish, crayfish, or bugs.” 
Working Windows For PoppersAs such, river smallies are very inquisitive and will check out sonic-oriented baits, like fly poppers or conventional topwater if it drops right over their head. Anglin says that fishing on top with either a fly popper like the proven Boogle Bug or a Rapala Skitter Pop on conventional gear works so well in late summer because you don’t have to worry about snags and you get far more casts in. “While they can work well, too, if you’re throwing a tube jig, crankbait, or streamer, you’re going to run into snags, which decreases your time with your bait in the strike zone and you’re constantly moving the boat to get the lure back and causing a lot of commotion. Fishing poppers really puts stealth on your side.” Over the past three- to five years, Anglin has noticed river waters running much lower, so there’s also more fish shallow, especially in and out of oxygenated riffle areas near slack water where they might have been deeper in the past. “Depending on where you are, late-summer fish might be as shallow as 18 inches or so, so if a popper lands over their head, there’s a really good chance they’re going to go for it.”
So, whether you employ fly or conventional gear, poppers are great options for late-summer river smallies. “I think it’s important to start out on the easy side of things, too, which in my case, would definitely be throwing a popper,” said Anglin. But if the sun is too high and the fish are skittish at grabbing baits from what’s essentially a giant mirror underwater, Anglin will switch to crawfish fly patterns or tubes to get his clients on fish.“Just this past week, I had a regular client out on the river and the fish weren’t eating poppers. The sun was overhead, and fish were down low in deeper water. So, we switched to a crayfish pattern on a floating line with a long leader and he immediately caught a 17-incher, followed by a 16 and 18.”
“But later, as the sun started moving behind the trees, fish started moving up in the water column to areas along the bank where they could feed on insects, minnows, and small panfish. I’m always looking for the little blooms of gnats and mayflies along the banks that bring in feeding minnows. The smallies typically follow.”“The bottom line is the bigger fish started to move up in the column, and that’s when we switched to poppers and that flicked the switch. Suddenly, he didn’t get any on his crayfish and I said, ‘Hey, throw one real shallow and strip it quicker.’ And he threw one right up to the bank about eight inches of water and he stripped it out to about two feet and got smoked.”“That told us what we needed to know. I handed him another rod that had a Boogle Bug popper on it, and he caught another good fish.”The point is you must adjust throughout the day with river smallies depending on the sun.

Finding Structure & ShadeAnglin observes: “When you have peak temps like we do right now in the rivers, usually by mid-August at this latitude the sun angle becomes lower. As the sun gets lower on the horizon you can take advantage of topographical features and foliage quicker.”“While the sun might be overhead until an hour or hour and half before sunset in June and July, this time of year by three or four o’clock in most rivers you can find a bluff or a tall tree line or a high bank or something even a bridge or a levy-style road and take advantage of smallies in the shade on topwaters,” continues Anglin.  Depending on where you are in the country, the key then is to find shade, which could come in the form of boulders and rock piles like in Minnesota and Wisconsin rivers or bridges, sea walls, old railroad trestles, riprap, as well as wood.“We have fewer boulders in the rivers I fish but we have lots of sea walls and other structure that provides excellent cover for these fish. And in metro settings too, I’m always looking for the decrepit, breaking down stuff that provides nooks, cracks and crannies that draw tons of crawfish, especially with some depth transition around them so the fish just kind of sit off these areas and wait for the food to reveal itself.” “You could drift or crawl a tube in these areas and mess around with getting snagged or you could pinpoint casts with topwaters right on top and you’ll get smoked. You might start by catching smaller fish but all the commotion on top will bring in the larger fish on subsequent casts or drifts.”
Guide Recommended GearConventional gear: 6’-6’6” medium-light/medium power, fast action spinning rod with 2500 size reel and 10-lb. monofilament – 2-inch Skitter Pop or favorite popper hardbaitFly gear: 9’ 6-wt. rod, Scientific Anglers Amplitude Infinity weight-forward line, 7.5’ 16 lb. tapered leader with 18” to 24” of 10- or 12-pound mono, nylon or fluoro tippet plus Boogle Bug popperWhitewater Spindrift Merino Fishing Hoodie for sun protectionWhitewater Prevail Pant for sun protectionTake-HomeLooking to catch more late-summer smallies? Rather than whipping around a Beetle Spin randomly throughout the river, keep your head on a swivel and get more casts in with topwaters, whether on-the-fly or spinning gear. As a backup, bring a tube rod or some crawfish pattern flies for deeper, mid-day sun fish, but know that if you find the right shade, structure, and food source, a popper is going to simply catch fish in a way that’s explosive and about as fun as it gets!

Scottsburg’s McClain Claims Victory Sunday at Phoenix Bass Fishing League Event at Ohio River-Rocky Point
Boater Frank McClain of Scottsburg, Indiana, and co-angler Steve Hanson of Shelbyville, Indiana.

Indiana’s Hanson Wins Co-Angler Division

CANNELTON, Ind. (Aug. 18, 2025) – Boater Frank McClain of Scottsburg, Indiana, caught a five-bass limit weighing 12 pounds, 4 ounces, Sunday to win the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine on the Ohio River -Rocky Point . The tournament was the fourth event of the season for the BFL Hoosier Division. McClain earned $3,505 for his victory.

“I had a limit by 10 o’clock,” McClain said. “It was mostly topwater bites and flipping stuff. Then it slowed down a little bit, and I buckled down and started flipping to see if I could find some quality bites.”

McClain filled an early limit of bass that fell for a buzzbait, then switched his approach to capitalize on the flipping bite. McClain said most of his fish came from stumps in 1 to 4 feet of water. He focused on the mouths of creeks off of the main river and felt that was key to his win.

McClain counted 10 keepers during the course of the day, and he was thankful for a day of better-than-average bass.

“I definitely had to get away from the crowd and made long runs to fish a long way from the takeoff ramp,” McClain said. “I fished two creeks today. I just buckled down where I knew there were quality fish and stuck with that.”

McClain notched a runner-up spot the previous day at a BFL event at Ohio River-Rocky Point that had been rescheduled. McClain fell just 8 ounces shy of claiming back-to-back BFL wins in consecutive days.



“I should have won that one,” said McClain. “This is my 8th (BFL) win. I love it. It doesn’t get old, for sure. I mean I’ve won eight of them, but you don’t get tired of winning them. You fish against these guys, and they really know how to fish. It’s a good feeling.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament:

1st:         Frank McClain, Scottsburg, Ind., five bass, 12-4, $3,505
2nd:       Justin Berger, Murray, Ky., five bass, 10-6, $1,753
3rd:        John Melton, Corydon, Ind., five bass, 8-9, $1,169
4th:         Mike Quinlin, Mooresville, Ind., five bass, 8-7, $1,318 (includes $500 Phoenix MLF Bonus)

Keith Poche Grinds Out Two-Day Win at Phoenix Bass Fishing League Super Tournament at Alabama River

Georgia’s Chilcott Takes Co-Angler Title

PRATTVILLE, Ala. (Aug. 18, 2025) – Boater Keith Poche of Pike Road, Alabama, caught 10 bass weighing 28 pounds, 14 ounces, over two days to win the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League Super Tournament (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine on the Alabama River . The tournament was the fifth and final regular-season event of the season for the BFL Bama Division. Poche earned $5,315 for his victory.

“I’ve been fishing for 20 years, and the Alabama River is one of my favorite places to fish,” said Poche. “I’ve got a lot of places I catch fish; I just go fishing. If it ain’t here, I go there. If it ain’t there, I go somewhere else.”

Poche said he had three fish for 2½ pounds at noon the first day of the tournament, so he kept moving in search of larger bass. He caught a 5-pounder in a spot that he had visited earlier in the morning, but conditions were different – there was current, water was dropping and fish were moving.

“You just have to keep moving, and that’s what I do,” Poche said.

Poche said he hit some of his small, shallow spots and managed to end up with 15-12 after the first day’s weigh-in.

Poche started out Day 2 on a spot he didn’t hit the first day and continued the trend of fishing new water throughout the day. After catching a few spotted bass, he focused on largemouth and relocated to a creek where he managed to land a 4-pounder that sealed the deal for him.

“I caught all my fish on the first day flipping a black and blue 3-inch Berkley Powerbait Pit Boss with a 3/8-ounce weight,” Poche said. “I also caught a few spots today on a green pumpkin 5-inch Berkley (PowerBait) MaxScent The General on a shaky-head rig.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament:

1st:         Keith Poche, Pike Road, Ala., 10 bass, 28-14, $5,315
2nd:       Hunter Davidson, Reform, Ala., 10 bass, 27-7, $2,334
3rd:        James Willoughby, Gulfport, Miss., 10 bass, 25-9, $1,557
4th:         Logan Sims, Bessemer, Ala., 10 bass, 25-5, $1,589 (includes $500 Phoenix MLF Bonus)
5th:         Zeke Gossett, Pell City, Ala., 10 bass, 24-5, $934
6th:         Michael Smith, Andalusia, Ala., 10 bass, 24-2, $856
7th:         Jim Beavers, Manchester, Ga., 10 bass, 22-11, $778
8th:         Blake Tomlin, Greenville, Ga., 10 bass, 21-15, $700
9th:         Kris Colley, Ragland, Ala., 10 bass, 21-3, $622
10th:      Ronnie McDonough, Birmingham, Ala., 10 bass, 20-13, $545

Poche caught a bass that weighed 5 pounds, 2 ounces, and earned the Berkley Big Bass Boater award of $547.



Joseph Chilcott of Williamson, Georgia, won the co-angler division and $2,608, after bringing six bass to the scale that totaled 14 pounds, 13 ounces.

The top 10 co-anglers finished:

1st:         Joseph Chilcott, Williamson, Ga., six bass, 14-13, $2,608
2nd:       Timothy Shockley, Booneville, Miss., five bass, 13-5, $1,167
3rd:        Mason Carden, Shelby, Ala., six bass, 11-15, $779
4th:         Jeffery McCoy, Montgomery, Ala., six bass, 11-8, $595
5th:         Jeffrey Ford, Trion, Ga., six bass, 11-4, $467
6th:         Paul Nelson, Acworth, Ga., five bass, 9-11, $428
7th:         Colton Jennings, Moody, Ala., six bass, 9-6, $389
8th:         Rodney Graham, Childersburg, Ala., six bass, 9-5, $350
9th:         Stuart Vitollo, Vance, Ala., six bass, 9-1, $311
10th:      Roger Veracoechea, Birmingham, Ala., four bass, 8-6, $272

Chilcott earned the Berkley Big Bass co-angler award of $274, catching a bass that weighed in at 4 pounds, 4 ounces – the largest co-angler catch of the day.

With all five events in the division now complete, boater Kris Colley of Ragland, Alabama, won the Fishing Clash Bama Division Angler of the Year (AOY) race with 1,331 points and earned the $1,000 prize, while Larry Chastain of Laurel, Mississippi, won the Fishing Clash Bama Division Co-Angler of the Year race with 1,307 points and earned the $500 payout.

The top 60 boaters and co-anglers in the division based on point standings, along with the five tournament winners of each qualifying event, now qualify for the Oct. 10-11 BFL Regional tournament on Logan Martin Lake in Lincoln, Alabama. Boaters will fish for a top award of a new Phoenix 819 Pro with a 200-horsepower Mercury or Suzuki outboard worth $50,000, while co-anglers will compete for a top award of $20,000.

The 2025 Phoenix BFL Presented by T-H Marine is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 134 events throughout the season, five qualifying tournaments in each division. The top 60 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five qualifying tournament winners, will advance to one of 12 BFL Regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top three, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American.

WINNECONNE, Wis. (Aug. 18, 2025) – Boater Clayton Reitz of Morton, Illinois, proved he’s got the Wolf River dialed in, as he caught a five-bass limit Saturday weighing 16 pounds, 10 ounces, to win the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine on the Wolf River Chain Presented by Lew’s . The tournament was the fourth event of the season for the BFL Great Lakes Division. Reitz earned $3,337 for his victory.

“I normally fish for smallmouth,” said Reitz, who earned his fifth career BFL victory on the Wolf River Chain – six overall. “I practiced for five days and got the idea that the largemouth were biting a lot better and running a lot bigger than the smallies. So, for the first time in 20-something years, I opted to fish for largemouth. It worked out good.”

Reitz said he caught four solid largemouth on Lake Poygan, and that cemented his largemouth-only approach.

“I had a decent bag of largemouth, and I said, ‘I’m not even going to mess with (smallmouth),’” Reitz said. “I had shaken off a handful off smaller smallmouth, but I never really went to them.”

Reitz said at 10:30 he upgraded bass twice – trading 2¾-pound fish for ones that weighed 3¾ pounds – and had his final weigh bag by 11:00.

Reitz said he flipped a green pumpkin and blue creature bait all day to weigh four of his final weigh fish, and his last cull fish came on a black Spro Bronzeye Frog.

“Winneconne is a special place to me, and as I get older those wins get more and more special,” Reitz said. “It’s very hard to win against such a stacked field where a lot of people have things pretty well figured out.

“I really have to give a big shout out to my co-angler, Chris Morgan,” Reitz added. “He did everything for me and was key to me getting the win. When I was really catching them, he was right there for me.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament:

1st:        Clayton Reitz, Morton, Ill., five bass, 16-10, $3,337
2nd:      Mike Feldermann, Galena, Ill, five bass, 16-9, $1,668

Cannelton’s Leclere Tops Field for Third Career Win at Phoenix Bass Fishing League Event at Ohio River-Rocky Point

Indiana’s Deal Takes Co-Angler Division

CANNELTON, Ind. (Aug. 18, 2025) – After back-to-back Ohio River BFL wins in 2018 and 2019, boater Chris Leclere of Cannelton, Indiana, had to wait a few years, but Saturday he made his return to the winner’s circle. Leclere caught a five-bass limit weighing 9 pounds, 15 ounces to win his third career BFL title at the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) Presented by T-H Marine on the Ohio River at Rocky Point . The tournament was the third event of the season for the BFL Hoosier Division. Leclere earned $3,679 for his victory.

“It was really a pretty slow day for me,” Leclere said. “I only got like six keeper bites all day. I only had one keeper at 9 o’clock. It was just typical Ohio River creek fishing. I just kept grinding, pitching and flipping stumps and laydowns, and I ended up coming up with the right bites.”

Leclere said he focused his efforts during the tournament in a creek upriver from takeoff at Rocky Point Marina. A couple of bass fell for a topwater bait, but the majority came pitching a soft-plastic craw.

“It feels pretty good to win this one,” Leclere said. “It’s my third one (on the Ohio River) I had a good day, a good practice this week. I felt great going into this tournament and my confidence was high.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament:

1st:        Chris Leclere, Cannelton, Ind., five bass, 9-15, $3,679
2nd:      Frank McClain, Scottsburg, Ind, five bass, 9-8, $1,840
3rd:       Allen Boyd, Salem, Ind., five bass, 9-7, $1,725 (includes $500 Phoenix Bonus)
4th:        Brian Funkhouser, Bloomington, Ind., five bass, 9-4, $859
5th:        Ryan Deal, Evansville, Ind., five bass, 9-0, $986
6th:        Jeremy Knepp, Montgomery, Ind., four bass, 8-14, $1,155
7th:        Scott Bateman, Jasper, Ind., five bass, 8-12, $613
8th:        Adrian Urso, Union, Ky., five bass, 8-9, $552
9th:        Justin Berger, Murray, Ky., five bass, 7-12, $491
10th:     Jeramiah Sifers, Sellersburg, Ind., five bass, 7-8, $429

Ohio’s Brody Campbell Stays Steady for the Win at Toyota Series at St. Lawrence River Presented by Suzuki Marine

Ohio’s Brody Campbell Stays Steady for the Win at Toyota Series at St. Lawrence River Presented by Suzuki Marine

MASSENA, N.Y. (Aug. 17, 2025) – It’s always good to get out of the blocks fast with a win in your first tournament of the year. It’s also pretty terrific to earn another trophy, a big paycheck and some major momentum as you head into “championship season.”

Seven months after kicking off his 2025 campaign in late January with a win at the Toyota Series Presented by Phoenix Boats season opener at Sam Rayburn,  Brody Campbell of Oxford, Ohio , added another win to his résumé thanks to a 26-pound bag of smallmouth on the final day of the Toyota Series Northern Division tournament on the St. Lawrence River Presented by Suzuki Marine. The Ohio pro finished the three-day event with 79-1 to outdistance Alex Korol (78-1) and Erik Luzak (74-11) and earn a $72,402 paycheck (including a $35,000 Phoenix MLF Bonus). He also moved into the lead in the division’s Fishing Clash Angler of the Year  race.

Campbell’s win came three weeks to the day after a disappointing 47th-place finish in the final Tackle Warehouse Invitationals tournament of the year – also on the St. Lawrence – cost him an invitation to the 2026 Bass Pro Tour by 1 point.

“This place is special, but I was really mad at ‘em this week,” Campbell joked as he accepted the trophy. “I went out there every day, daylight ‘til dark, and tried to learn as much about this fishery as possible. I think I learned some key new areas and put all of that time and energy to work this week.”

Korol made a fierce run at Campbell with 25-15, 25-10 and 26-8, competing in his first-ever Toyota Series tournament. Luzak, who electrified the Day 2 weigh-in with an MLF-record 31-5, earned his first MLF Top 10 and big-fish honors with a 7-14.

Campbell has invested a hearty portion of his past two summers fishing the St. Lawrence every day from sunup to sundown, and it paid off handsomely this week – he was the model of consistency on the big river, weighing in 26-2 on Day 1 and 26-15 on Day 2 to set the stage for his 26-0 winning bag on Saturday, all on spots that he’s identified recently.

He landed on a school of big smallmouth early on Day 1, loading up nearly 27 pounds in 45 minutes with a Deps Sakamata Shad on a 1/4-ounce jighead and a Megabass Hazedong Shad on a 3/8-ounce drop-shot. For the drop-shot, he used a  7-foot, 2-inch medium Bird Dog BDR-862S spinning rod.

He returned to the same spot to start Day 2 and found “almost nothing” (one bite) before hopping to a handful of other places, eventually settling onto a choice spot where he dragged a drop-shot and loaded up another 26-pound bag.

“I had a couple of key places that I ended up bouncing around on Day 2,” Campbell said. “Knowing other places to go that day was a key for me. I started running new stuff after that first spot didn’t pan out, found a subtle little vein of rock and caught 26 again. I couldn’t see any of those fish – I just knew that’s where they should be.”

He entered the final morning with 4-4 to make up on Luzak, but the Canadian pro couldn’t match his big-fish mojo from the previous two days, faltering Saturday with 17-6 and opening the door for a Campbell comeback. Campbell repeated his pattern on the final day, moving around between a handful of spots with the drop-shot, eventually “scrounging up” another 26-pound bag to claim the win.

“Spending as much time here as I have and just knowing where big fish are was big for me this week,” Campbell said. “I didn’t waste my time on anything I didn’t think had big fish, I knew that, if I was catching fish on those spots, they were going to be big. Going all-in like that can work out really good or really bad – it turned out to be good this week.”

The top 10 pros at the Toyota Series at the St. Lawrence River finished:

1st:        Brody Campbell, Oxford, Ohio, 15 bass, 79-1, $72,402 (includes $35,000 Phoenix MLF Bonus)
2nd:      Alex Korol, Fairport, N.Y., 15 bass, 78-1, $14,300
3rd:       Erik Luzak, Fenelon Falls, Ontario, 15 bass, 74-11, $12,571
4th:       Tommy Dickerson, Orange, Texas, 15 bass,  73-0, $9,226
5th:       Logan Dyar, Cleveland, Ala., 15 bass, 71-5, $8,303
6th:       Jeremy Gordon, Rutledge, Tenn., 15 bass, 70-0, $7,380
7th:       Dante Piraino, Baldwinsville, N.Y., 15 bass, 69-15, $6,458
8th:       Hayden O’Barr, Scottsboro, Ala., 15 bass, 69-10, $5,535
9th:       Lee Stephens, Columbia, Ky., 15 bass, 69-5, $4,613
10th:     Spike Stoker, Cisco, Texas, 15 bass, 69-3, $3,690

Campbell won Thursday’s $500 Berkley Big Bass Award, catching a bass weighing 6 pounds, 13 ounces, while Luzak brought a bass weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces to the scale Friday to take home the $500 Berkley Big Bass Award for Day 2.

Daun Nicholson of Normalville, Pennsylvania, won the Co-angler Division Saturday with a three-day total of 15 bass weighing 58 pounds, 1 ounce. Nicholson earned the top co-angler prize package worth $33,500, including a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower outboard motor.

10th:       Chris Hurley, Carlisle, Pa., 14 bass, 48-14, $1,164

Co-angler Jimmy Schaffer of Oak Ridge, New Jersey, earned Thursday’s $150 Berkley Big Bass co-angler award with a 6-pound, 15-ounce bass, while Friday’s Day 2 $150 co-angler award went to Takaaki Kojima of Temecula, California, who weighed in a 5-pound, 12-ounce bass.
