Best spots for Smallmouth?

[HammytheFisherman]

Okay so I have never actually caught one of those bronze/striped fish that we call Smallmouth. I've always targeted largemouth bass and have never even caught a random smallie.

To keep it short, where are the best places to get into some good smallmouth fishing? I know the upper susq can usually produce nice smallies as well as conowingo(which I've never really fished). Like I said I've just never had the luck of catching one nor have I ever tried to catch them.

I would just like to try and catch some nice smallies one day while out on the water. I've heard they are a lot of fun to catch. Any tips as far as lures would help too although I was under the impression then hit the same stuff that we use on LM.

Need to go out with Bill and I Hammy. We have a few smally spots in the Susky. You can also wade Deer Creek pretty much anywhere in Harford County and catch them if you want to do it from shore. I bet the upper parts of the Gunpowder would have them too - just never tried there.

River systems hold good smallies if you can find current you will find some smallies I prefer a tube in a dirty craw color good luck

If you dont mind wading you can fish the susky around the port deposit area(rt 222) and lm sure you willcatch some smallies. hit them early in the am with topwater and grubs around current. If you want to use your boat go up to conowingo in the fall all the way up to the islands and your sure to find so nice smallies up there...

Lets go! We will def have to get out one of these days... assuming my schedule works with yours and Bills!

I have never caught one too.  Hopefully I can fit into their schedule too one day.

I just caught some nice smallies this weekend up on Conowingo.  It seems like I always manage to catch them even if I target largemouth.  I was tossing senco's for LMB and nailed some good sized smallies.  Mostly though I will toss a tube if I am targeting smallmouth bass.

They have more fight per pound than any LMB of equal size.
