Big M, May 6

Launched early in the AM, got on the top water fish right away, caught about 15 on a Rapala Wake Minnow, mostly 10-15" spots, but did catch one largemouth that looked to be in the 4 lb. range.

After the top water bite died down, I dragged a wobble head with a beaver bait around timber in a cove.  Picked up another 7 or 8, several were solid large mouth keepers, and they were mostly deep, in the 10-20 foot range.

About 1030 the bite just went flat out dead, fished until 1230, caught  just one 14" small mouth in those 2 hours that spit up a white fluke just before I put him the boat, I guess he likes plastics.   

Water temps were 64 warming to 67 when I left.

Sounds good Quill, top water action is ?, either he likes plastics or he is sick of them, great day.
