    Some fun fishing and a new PB

    After a pretty rough start to our tournament season my son and I went out and just did some fun fishing. No practicing for anything. No pressure, having fun and relaxing.
    The smallies are starting to pull up on beds and it made for a fun day! Easton even caught his new PB. A nice 4.01lb brown one! I find myself always practicing for the next tournament and not really going out to just have fun. This day is just what we both needed!

    Very nice. Me and a buddy will be chasing brownies up north (SD) in a couple of weeks. You say the smallies are just now pulling up on the beds. Can I ask what the water temp was in your area for this to start happening? Also, don't smallies spawn in a little deeper water than largemouth?

    The water was about 62 degrees. As far as depth it depends on the lake. This particular lake they were bedding in anywhere from 2ft to about 6ft. Good luck on your trip!
