Some smallmouth pics from the 25th

[Quillback]

They were biting yesterday.  Most of my fish came on the little 2.8 swimmer.  I did catch some on the Ned, but they were running smaller on the Ned and tended to be nest guarding males.  There are fish spawning, water temps were 66-68.

My best one of the day, 18".  Don't know if it is a spawned out female or a male.

Black spot on the back.

Nest guarder.

 

A pretty keeper smallmouth,

Great time to be out.   I was out earlier in the week, lower end.  Definitely saw quite a few fish on beds.    I caught more largemouth than I normally do.   Ned was quite productive but also needed a good weedless rig to fish laydowns.   Biggest was 4.2#
