I went out of Ditto to chase the spawning smallies that I found with my wife on the 12th (pior fishing report). I got to the bluff end that we caught them on the day before, and I caught a 4 lb largemouth on a drop shot flatworm and a couple of 3 lb smallies on the Riot Probe. I continued to run the bluff end pattern but could never get on any bigger fish. I caught a bunch of spotters bass on every bluff end. I tried with the drop shot and shakeyhead. Fun day, I just wish I could have caught them as good with the GoPro running as I did without it running. I think all 3 species are trying to spawn with the water up to full pool now and getting stable and warming. But 12 with two 1 lb spots in the limit..

Fished event three of the Choo-Choo division of the MLF BFLs on Wheeler lake. Was able to finish 17th as a co-angler with a 9' 13 " bag. Caught all my keepers working current seems in 8-10 feet of water. Water temp was 56 degree and we has post front conditions. Fish just did not seem to react to moving baits today even thought we had a nice breeze.
