Long time consumer, first time contributor. Thanks to all that post frequently, tremendous help to us who don’t get as much time on the water.
had a good evening at Big M Friday night, especially the smallmouth. All our fish came in 15-20FOW on gravel bottom areas using a Keitech 4” sexy shad on 1/8 jig head. Best pocket of water for us was 50 yards from the boat ramp! Mixed bag of smallies, spotted and a nice walleye.
Saw a few females on beds behind the marina but spent most of our time in the deeper water. We saw a lot of fish pushing shad in the back of pockets but couldn’t get them to take interest in our spook/plopper. Top water is going to get interesting with the warm weather in our forecast.
