Went to one of my ponds today. Male smallies are real busy right now!!! Cruising beds in anywhere from 6 to 10 ft deep. They're getting there nests allset. Saw well over a 100 fish mostly in the 2lb to 3lb range. They didn't want anything to do with any lure we threw. I think they got other things on there mind
. That means the water temps getting close to 53 to 55 where smallies do there thing. Largemouth will be right behind them i bet in the nxt few week. Remember this is in my part of Ma. Up north and out west is probably a lill behind.
