Water Temps on 5/23-5/25 ranged from 63 to 67 on the 23rd. It seemed the jump to upper 60's pushed some Smallies into the shallows preparing to spawn. We caught a few (blindly) on Topwater and Jerkbaits worked slowly that were full of eggs. The rest of the fish came on a DT-6 for me while beating the banks that mostly had main lake points.
