Fish were all three stages of the spawn, but the majority were post-spawn. This set up let me cover water and throw to any fish I saw cruising or on a bed. To be honest though they were eating almost anything you threw, top water, shaky heads, wacky worms. Now is a great time to go out and build some confidence in a technique.
