Folks I have a question.  I live in Northeast Ohio and want to bring my younger brother down to Chick to fish next year. I am going to hire a guide to take us out for a couple days and put us on fish.  My brother lives in Upstate NY, he is in prime Smallmouth land, and well my fishing in Ohio just plain sucks.  haha.  Anyways I am wanting to ask would May be a good time to plan our trip down there to fish for Largemouth?  I am wanting to treat him to a great trip and make some great memories.  Neither of us have ever fished the south so it will be a new experience for both of us. 

Yes may should be good. The offshore bite starts to get going around late may

So are you saying it will be cranking and deep water stuff only?  Or is there still a shallow bite of good fish?

No there will still be fish shallow and some still spawning. You can get them shallow all year really

Thanks for that!  My brother and I aren't much for the cranking, so was just wondering.
