Hit the water about 10:00 this morning. Beautiful sunny sky's and the mountain looked huge today. It was a bit of a challange today because I had knee surgery less than a week ago and I'm still not that mobile yet however I only had to get myself into the boat seat and then good to go. Caught about a dozen fish today nothing really big mostly pounders and a couple dinks and a baby tiger musky to boot. Most fish were caught in about 6-8 feet of water with a drop shot near stumps. A couple caught off of docks. By the time I fingered it out I realized we were catching males guarding the nest. The nest were not easy to spot at all but I noticed a cleaned out space at the base of a stump between the roots that I assume we're spawning beds. That and the bass were smaller and did not have fat bellies. Not to worry all were released and I even noticed one back at the same stump a few min. Later we leg him alone that time. Was off the water by 3 pm.
