Smallmouth were scattered all around on beds and were easy targets with a Berkley max scent lil general in coppertruse color. Love how aggressive the bronze backs are. My best was this 4 pounder. So much fun sight fishing them.

The largemouth have begun their move shallow to spawn. After working the spawning areas with reaction baits and not getting many bites, I decided to slow and pitch to visible beds with a strike king rage bug and started to land several fish. Biggest was this 5 pounder who inhaled my bait as soon as it dropped near her. She gave me a nice battle. Love this time of year.
