I've probably spent a total of about 6 hours in the creek between yesterday and this morning. I've been throwing Strike King Bitsy tubes most of the time and I lost count of how many fish I've caught. These Bitsy tubes are dynamite in the creeks but the biggest problem I have with them is they are small enough for just about anything other than a minnow to bite it. So I'm ending up with a ton of Rock Bass, Sunfish, and Bluegill. In the past two days I've only had 1 smallmouth which was 13 inches and 3 largemouth from 10 to 12 inches.

So my question is... Are any of you other creek smallmouth anglers experiencing a "shut off" on the smallie bite? Or do you think it's just because I'm using these small tubes and the smaller fish are just getting to it quicker?

Don't get me wrong I'm still having a blast. I even went 5 for 5 casts on a school of rock bass that also had a small largemouth mixed in it today which was pretty cool but I'm having trouble finding the smallmouth.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
