Pool 8 Mississippi River Help

Featured Replies

Just wondering, anyone have any suggestions/advice on this body of water?  My friend and I have been pre-fishing this for the last 3 weekends for this weekend's B.A.S.S tournament.  We're catching 2 pounders LM's pitching and flipping wood cover and using spinnerbaits along the weed edges, but I don't think this is the winning pattern.  Before we left last Sunday, we checked out a local tournament weigh in and these guys were bringing in some big bags, like 8 fish 24lbs bags via two guys....and most of them were bringing out smallies! 

Anyone know a few good spots to target smallies or should continue to target largies?  Certain sloughs were up in the 62 degrees last weekend..main river channel about 58-60 degrees.  Think they are still in around the current breaks from deep to shallow?

I fished out of pool 7 a few days ago, smallies were killing jigs and wacky senko's.  They were all over the chunk rock in 5-8 fow out of the main current.
