Small mouth vs Large mouth

Hi Wess
The smallies is by far the more aggressive fish and is usually caught on power fishing techniques, cranking, spinnerbait or jerk baits. Does not mean you will not catch them on other techniques but smallies tend to be easier to catch due to their aggressive nature. Also the take of a smallie is much harder than that of a largie.

Smally for sure! He likes a smaller bait, something short and fat like a Salmo boxer or hornet, fat rap type lure. When targeting the small mouth Ive seen alot bass fishermen run dry. They like fallen timber and structure the same as any bass but you find the good fish holding on isolated rocks or structure where you wouldnt normally cast for a large mouth. Also they can be found in surprisingly shallow water. Im not an expert on smallies at all but there is a dam nearby that has a good population and we have done quite well there. Definitely MUCH prefer the fight of a small mouth bass!

HI Guys
Sorry for the late reply. Smallies are my absolute favourite of the two. They kick your but when you have one on the line. Dont be fooled buy their small mouths, i filled my bag one day at Kwaggaskloof catching them on 7inch magnum zoom uvibes.
At clan william they nail the large Zara spooks with serious aggression.
Here is a video of my last trip there, got some nice ones on fly too:
