This past weekend / question.

This past week in Southern NJ the temps were between 60 and 74. The waters have warmed up some and I decided to throw a crank bait for a reaction strike. Friday night I caught a tiny bass, Saturday I caught 5 tiny bass and a 3 pounder on the CB.

My question is...... is the reason why I caught 6 tiny bass because their bodies are so small that they warmed up quicker then the larger ones, making them more apt to strike on reaction while the larger bass still have a colder body temps making them more lathargic?

Sunday was the warmest day we have had in NJ this year, however a front was moving in and it is raining today. Yesterday I saw a lot of bass movement very shallow, just crusing around. They were pertty much all small with an occasional larger one floating around. They would not hit anything, not even a worm dead sticked in front of their faces. Are the sizable bass still deep do you think. If so, why do the small bass move up shallow first? Any insight would be helpful, thanks.
