Spring Fishing Patterns on Smithville Lake

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors

Summer Fishing Patterns

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Summer	Largemouth Bass	72-85	Bass are utilizing both shallow and deep water patterns, with active fish in grass/bushes and more lethargic fish in deeper brush piles Feeding activity occurs primarily during early morning and evening, with fish moving to deeper water during midday heat	Shallow grass and bush areas, particularly during low light periods Deep brush piles, especially during midday Laydowns near deeper water access	Bladed Jigs worked through grass Frogs/Toads over matted vegetation Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) around laydowns and brush Spinnerbaits along grass edges	Shad (primary forage based on recent reports) Bluegill (particularly around shallow cover)	Chartreuse Colors Dark Neutrals Bold Striped Patterns

Summer	Striped Bass	72-84	Striped bass are seeking thermal refuge in deeper water during summer, making feeding movements primarily during dawn/dusk periods into shallower areas. They're likely to suspend near thermocline depth near structure during the day. Fish are schooling around bait pods, particularly shad, and making periodic feeding runs. The moderately stained water (1.9m Secchi) allows them to remain active in shallower water during low light periods.
