Rock piles, and any isolated hard bottom areas, are textbook hot spots for producing large numbers of big smallmouths in fall, but they receive the most pressure. Smallmouths gravitating to them are non-resident fish who are only there for feeding. The primary source of food atop these locations is crayfish.
