Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near North Attleborough presents a bit of a challenge, as they aren't as prevalent as largemouth. However, the Ten Mile River, and the more riverine sections of some larger ponds, can hold smallmouth, particularly in areas with rocky bottoms and current. Look for them near bridges, dams, or any structure that creates current breaks. Smallmouth tend to be more active in slightly cooler water temperatures, so spring and fall are generally the best times to target them. Downsizing your lures and using lighter line can be beneficial, as smallmouth can be more finicky than their largemouth cousins. Try using tubes, small crankbaits, or even live bait like crayfish. Access along the Ten Mile River can be limited, so exploring different access points is key. Be prepared to do some walking and wade fishing. The smallmouth population isn't huge, but the dedicated angler can find success.
