Calm Mornings

[Blll]

Finally got out early before the wind (or sun). I love a calm lake. White bass by the bridge from 7" to 17". Found a chunk rock bank and cleaned up with the Ned rig. 15 bass are not my

usual morning with at least 9 solid keepers and a 3#LM kicker. All on the ned, 6-10 fow. Wind came out around 10am and I was done.  WT 60-64.

I got around 5pm and wind came up a little so I beat some rocks near PC and came up with this small mouth and a lot of spots. I was using a blue backed fluke on a swimbait hook.

Yea when I pulled that one into my boat my first thought was that was a Table Rock smallmouth. Just goes to show Beaver is really improving after a couple of high water years and a healthy shad population. I went out with some brooders wanting to look for some stripers but the bass totally distracted me from my mission.

That is one nice fish, hard to tell from that angle, but it looks like a mean mouth.

That is light brown around the gills not green, I think that fish was on a bed behind a big rock in about 4 feet of water and just starting to darken up. That is the reason I didn't take time to weigh it, I wanted to get her(or him) back to the bed as soon as possible. Just my thoughts, I didn't see a bed just guessing from the tan and the fact it was very close to 50 feet of water and still that dark makes think it was a bedding small mouth. I could be totally off base, JMO.
