That is one of the smallest bass I've ever seen. I've caught 3" ones before in November. Oct and November the tiny ones seem to concentrate in the river. That bass looks even smaller than 3"!
Yea. I would guess 2.5 inches and thin. I've never seen one that small or slender. Yea no secret. Bridge holes hold fish, but I saw several big trout in the thin fast waters between their and timbers. I do circles for tuna, stripers, and billfish. Weights not an issue with bait, was thinking more for lures ish.
Yea for shark we'd hide cork in the butter fish so it would sink natural.

Did they clean that spot recently? Looked much better than it used to
