First Day On The Water

[HookSetDon]

This weekend was my first time out on the water this season. Bass isnt open until the last weekend of june. Pike and Walleye are fair game. I decided to do some exploring as its rare to see bass bedding here due to the late season start, while cruising some shallow water I came across a back bay near a creek 2' of water with lots of bluegill busting water and an occassional bass swimming around. Water temperature on this unseasonal weekend was 70 degrees, given the conditions I figured the bluegills were getting ready to spawn as they were hovering around in little packs, possibly being chased by bass. Does this mean the bass have spawned already, and currently the bluegills are pulling in for their shift? What kind of conclusion would one draw and possibly benefit from finding this spot for next month when the bass season opens?

• Find your shallow flats, if you can see the males making a bed then it's game on, if you see beds already made and abandoned chances are it's over....bass will prob be pre-spawning in your area. What is the water temp?
