First smallmouth bass of 2015! Can't wait for spring to come! This smallmouth bass hit on a rocky/ Gravely slope that went from about 25-17 FOW with before evening out. 45-48 degree water yesterday while fishing, we Had the aluminum boat out but had to dock it due to the crazy wind. Tied it up on the dock closest to the sloping bank. Caught a lot of perch on the same ledge too.
