Well... I don't know if anything is cruising up top. I've worked a fair assortment of subsurface lures in various retrieves and haven't gotten hit. I don't know... I'll figure it out eventually though.

I still wouldn't discount trying a few dozen casts or so with a surface popper. Make lots of racket - like 3 violent jerks immediately back to back then a slow retrieve for a foot and repeat......etc....... if they are hungry, smallmouth will come up quite a distance to hit a popper - but first they gotta hear or feel it.

OT

See you on the river.
