Just wanna let anyone know that likes to fish the river for bass, especially for quality smallmouth, the bite is on in the mornings. I fish the frankfort pool and the steele branch pool and have been putting some nice smallmouth in the boat (nice for the river). Have been several in the 3 to 4 lbs range, which i consider nice, and lost one a week ago i know was over 4 easy. Its not a dale or cumberland smallie, but alot of fun no matter what. The best part is they are all on topwaters, around the dams. They arent right on the dam but within a couple hundred yards, ive been covering water around the dam area just throwing buzzbaits and poppers, each day they either want one or the other, just gotta figure out which one. and several have been in really skinny water. Good day and good fishin.
