Went fishing yesterday with a friend and caught some smallies from points and saddles 3' to 8' water but only a few,

biggest was 2.5 lbs.

 

I wanted to try the deep water off a hump or ledge 10' to 20' but my friend says its no good so we didn't.( his boat).

 

 

What do you guys think?? water is at 62F.

I take it your season is open ahead of us in southern/central Ontario.Not sure about yours,but ours will be biting on the 28th lol.Could be colder water after this late winter?.Hope you get some better answers,good luck!!!

I might have tried shallower? Not familiar with your area, but here until mid May they seem to be in sheltered areas to spawn, the same areas that largemouth frequent to spawn a week or two later.

 

Marinas with rip rap shores shallow bays with a mix of gravel and weed bottoms? and any cover like wood pilings and docks in shallow water. I am just guessing your spawn runs a bit later than ours.
