Hachery steelies come in and spawn quickly. Most steelies this time of year that are spawned are winters not summers. Summers will not spawn til Feb. Summers will have color but will be fat and full of eggs. Look at the belly, if it's skinny its spent. They may look bright but if they don't fifht hard and jump lots they may be spent. Also remember spawners are good bait biters in deep slow holes.
