May on Smith Lake
When the lake is back to full pool and bass have bed then is
the time to target these post spawn bass. May is topwater
time on most of Alabama’s lakes and Smith lake cannot
be excluded.
Early light,
late in the evening, during cloudy or rainy days are best
times for fooling these bass into biting. Try topwater lures
such as walking type topwaters, pop’rs, buzzbaits
or prop-baits.
As these
bass come off the beds they are hungry. Other lures such
as deep diving crankbaits, spinnerbaits, soft and hard bodied
jerkbaits, and slow sinking plastics such as Yamamoto’s
Senkos and Zoom trick worms are great lure choices.
* These bass that really scrutinize a lure in Smith lakes
clear water.
Rattletraps on other lipless lures can be fished fast in the
shallows, dropped in mid water, or allowed to go deep close
to the lakes bottom.
Post spawn
bass are triggered to strike out of instinct when anglers
are throwing these lures in and around the shallow spawning
grounds.
