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.
