Fished the last 2 days out of KC.Forcaast earlier was questionable but weather ended up great, had some wind and clouds but a lot of sunshine too. Fish are definitely up on the banks but still not seeing fish on beds. Most fish came out of about 6 fow. Ned and flukes were about all we threw. Some really nice size to the smallmouth more than half were keepers. We had a dozen or so each day in the 17-19" range. Bite was better in the afternoon my be due to more wind. steeper rock banks did better than gravel .

Nice work. What sort of temps did you see?

You guys had good timing with the weather and definitely executed on a solid shallow bite. The lake will be crowded on Saturday and there will be plenty of fish caught. 

Based on what I am seeing, there will be a big wave of spawning activity in the coming days. 

Thanks for the report.
