5/4 Big M

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.

Very nice, some healthy brown fish!

Smallmouth up there? Bo’s work has paid off. Great looking healthy fish. Thanks for the information.

I had plans to fish that gravel pocket last Friday afternoon, but never made it that far. Caught fish before I made it all the way up there. Good job.

Great to see so many nice SM showing up in those parts. Hope they’re still swimming.
