Thanks, that cleared up a lot. Ossipee smallmouth are tough to beat. I started to venture into Maine mid-summer last year and thats where I was introduced to alewives. The fishing is phenomenal East of the border, Kezar quickly turned into my favorite lake.

I fished lakes with alewives in them for the first last year. I struggled finding good information about them. Do you typically find the schools suspended over deeper water or more in shallower vegetation? On lakes with a solid alewive population, do you find that the bass key on them more than say bream and perch?
