During the pre spawn would large mouth and smallmouth use those points as well?  Or just spots?

Good memory.  This was Lake Mendota, one of our home lakes in the city of Madison. I’ll be at Lake Wisconsin today practicing for a tournament next week.  

Thanks for the teachings!  

knocked slack into the line then the drag on the Lews Hypermag was screaming!

Tron doesn’t mess around. 

I’ll take a warm sunny day on a clear natural lake with water temp in the 60’s fishing some weeds.  Let’s go!

Brian Latimer were you targeting them or accidental catches?

Do you feel an underspin would help generate more bites?  Smallmouth is going to be the species I go after this next couple weeks.  

I’ll be practicing all weekend for two tournaments coming up the following week.  Will finally be warm in the 70’s!  18-20mph S winds and water temps still in the mid 40’s. One tournament lake will have stained/muddy water.  The other crystal clear.   

I usually stick to my couple go-to baits but I did buy a bunch of the new Zman stuff.  Looking forward to trying it this season at the cabin. 

Wonder if it has something to do with how it’s presented or lateral line natural instincts?

Same thing happens when you catch a Musky when fishing for bass.  Fish just gotta eat sometimes.
