The rivers here in NH have cooled down into the low 40's, and the smallies are stacked up like cord wood. If you know where to find them, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. Got out for a short-ish day with my friend Kristen and her son, and put the Magic Flick from Beast Coast Fishing to work on a drop shot. That bait is amazing when the water gets super cold, their plastic formula works wonders when the temps dip into the mid 40's and even colder.
