Here in my part of the of the state water temps have been up into the mid-50s.

The adult fish are definely in the pre-spawn mode. Fished last week and had a very good day on smallies. I would expect that the smallmouth will be moving on to the beds in the next week or so depending on the weather.

The largemouth while up in the shallows are still several weeks away from "bedding".

All of which means I have a week or so of smallmouth and a couple weeks of largemouth fishing until I knock off bass fishing for a while. Will be back on the water for bass after the spawn.
