Hot Buffalo bite

We have been catching lots of Smallmouth Buffalo in every stretch of the Scioto River From below Griggs past Pickaway County. Plain sweet corn or slightly flavored with little chumming. We have went to smaller hooks & shorter rigs to score on these light feeders.
The Carp have slowed way down for us in this heat but the Buffalo's are on fire!

I've never caught a Buff on purpose. I've caught them by accident below East Fork dam using Flitterbaits. Everyone hooked right in the mouth. I wonder if sweet corn would work suspended under a float in the lake. There are some huge buff's in that lake.

I use enterprise tackle's pop up corn to keep my rigs just hovering off the bottom and didn't see any change in the catch rate when without. I have never targeted them that high up in the water colum but imagine you could. However I also have seen quite a few caught below the Dams on flutter baits - Chrome Cicada seems to be the norm. Good luck
