Fished with iBass360 yesterday, had a spot in mind, and that's where Eric and I caught mostly smallmouths and a couple of largemouths of about two pounds. Water temperature at 57 early on, by what I gathered, it had fallen, so I guess the smallmouths had spawned. Who knows, really. We didn't see any beds and most of the bass came from five or six feet of that sort of turbid water, though they could have been spawned-out females.

Largest bass of the dozen-and-a-half or so of us fishing caught weighed about five-and-a-half, largemouth, and many others, one over four, some other three, all of the fish quickly released.

The Spruce is thriving, but sure gets pounded. Those bass see a lot of lures.
