I caught one LMB off a bed Saturday. I broke up the honeymoon part of that relationship [crazy]
Released him and came back an hour or so later to see if maybe I could catch the big female and finally got her P/O'd enough to snap at what I was tossing. Unfortunately I didn't check the drag on that rod and didn't get a solid enough hook set and she tossed the bait after a couple big jumps/flips.
Fish are running around veeeeery spooky. Saw quite a few but once sighted they ran very fast. Sight fishing is very difficult/next to impossible right now unless they are preoccupied by a little romance.
No smallie beds/attempts at making a bed was found. I did come across one smallie scouting some territory. He didn't want to leave the area and stuck around regardless of me being there. I couldn't see the makings of a bed yet anywhere in the area.
