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.

It was a bright sunny day with clear skies and perfect conditions to sight fish for smallmouth. Most of the spawn is over with at this point but I did manage to entice a few using a ned rig. Fun day all in all.
