"One important point try not to target smallies that are sitting on beds, let them spawn. There will be enough smallies in the shallows that you will not have to target spawning fish. If you do catch a few please remember to release all spawning smallies to tend to the task at hand.

Make some memories please remember to practice CPR (Catch, Photo and Release). The future of fishing is in your hands."


very well put. Smallies are better quarry than largemouth. You haven't caught a fighter till you see a smallie jump 3 times before you land it.
