Bass Fishing in May
Smallie fishing gets better as the month goes on, catch and release only from May 15th to June 15th because they are actively spawning...Mid to late may you can have fun catching them on jerkbaits and topwater, if the water is not in the upper 50's stick to throwing jerkbaits...keep changing colors and depths, and once you find what is working you will have a blast.
April and early may can be the best time of year to find the big smallies, this is the time of year you are most likely to catch them in the 4lb range. After a long winter, they start gorging themselves before they spawn...can be a lot of fun, but can also be very cold!
