On man made lakes that have a good population of large and smallmouth bass do you find that most of the good largemouth population is in the upper part of the lake and the better smallmouth population tends to be at the lower end of the lake where the water is more clear? That has been my experience.
For sure. At least on the 2 local lakes I fish.
That is not the case the lakes i fish. I find thesmallies tend to be in the gravel/rocky areas.... whereas the largies hang near weeds and laydowns.

Same here. Every once in a while I'll catch a largie in the middle of nowhere.
Somehow over the years I've got to where i couldn't hardly catch a largemouth because i like catching smallmouth so much. My fishing buddy of over 20 years is not bass fishing right now so i've been going a lot by myself so i decided i was bound & determined to get back on largemouth. I've only been fishing creeks & fishing old school stuff that I use to fish that forced me to slow down. I've caught all largemouth for over a month now & haven't had a smallmouth which i needed to do badly. I had a limit last night & a buddy that went with me had one. Needless to say he was pissed.

Pretty good description of Table Rock and Beaver.
Not in Indiana, they come out of both ends of the lake, and we use the same baits for both species.Originally Posted by bassfisher444
You catch smallmouth in shallow water pads, grass and wood cover on top water frogs or flipping? I have only caught largemouth doing that.

Yes to all of the above.
On natural lakes? That's not what I am talking about.
possibly but not always, you are describing some man-made lakes but not all it kind of depends on the tributaries and depths of any body of water, cover and structure
THE MORE YOU SAY THE MORE WE UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT YOU ANYWAYS
