Fished the Mon last weekend did really good on smallmouth.

I fish the wall.... duck hallow

I've fished the Mon from the point to WV and I've always done the best near Brownsville below the Maxwell dam.  It seems like the biggest smallmouth in the river are right below that dam.  I usually fish the Mon right around the Elizabeth dam nowadays because thats the stretch I know the best since I grew up in Elizabeth and I also work in Elizabeth.  I've seen alot of 30+ pound flatheads taken near the power plant right upriver from the Elizabeth lock and dam.  You used to be able to drive right to the warm-water outlet from the plant at one time, now you either have to sneak in or use a boat.  Some of the Carp in that area are simply huge.  If you ever get to the barge in Elizabeth and see some fool throwin buggers to the bass there around lunchtime, say hello, its me.

thought the locks were off limits cuz of homeland securty..............must have been below the lock
