It was the first trip of the season to my favorite smallmouth water. Air temp. 36 degrees when we left the dock. Water temp. 50.1 - a good temp. for ripping hard jerk baits.

I was very happy to be out on this big, clear lake but by noontime when my partner and I had boated only 4 smallies all under 2 lbs. I was ready for a big, pre spawn mama.

And here she is!

5.8 lbs. I rubbed her belly for continued good luck and released her with the instruction to go make babies that would grow up just like her.

No. There really wasn't very much moving all day. What I will remember on future trips is to fish deeper and fish more rock. We were hoping for a better movement over sand/gravel/scattered weed flats that were 5' - 10' deep,
thinking that the sun and the wind (10 - 15 MPH) would bring them up.
