Smallies are cruising the shallows preparing to spawn. Fish are still grouped up and hungry but should be making beds or on beds by the weekend. Cruising sand weed edges and tossing a jerkbait was key. Keep an eye out for dark spots swimming in the sand and chuck a hair jig their way. As the spawn progresses, please try to leave the fish who are on beds alone, this chain has been decimated over the last few years of tournament fishing. Protect these fish.
