post spawn smallmouth

Hi Folks, Guided on my boat again yesterday and we dodged thunderstorms once again.  Really big light show at 5:30am that forced us off the water temporarily.  However, my clients and I waited it out and we got back after the smallmoth bass.  The water temperature on the surface 66 degrees and the clarity was off color.  Still a lot of debris in the water and we had to watch out with the boat not to hit anything.  Fished with spin gear and worked top water rapalas in the morning before the wind picked up from the south and the sun began to shine.  Mid morning we changed directions and jig fished with crawfish colored tube jigs on 1/8th oz. jig head and also used a green 6" zoom lizard.  We landed several small bass on topwaters and missed a few lunkers.  The jig fishing produced a lot of action and we landed several fish in the 14" to 16" class.  All of the bass were holding off of rock points and humps.  Lots of wood on the bottom so we texas rigged our jigs.  Not a bad day of fishing and it appeared that every fish we caught was post spawn.  Big cold front has descended upon us and our rivers are coming down.  Small streams look decent and I am looking forward to trout fishing in a river.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have fun, Willy
