Indeed post spawn is in affect. Didn't see any females in the shallows period last weekend and it was cold. Saw males on beds. We had those warm days screwed up things. That being said water is high so I am happy no drought! As for as smallmouth goes there's a lake up 15 in Mahlon Dickerson res. that had fresh smallies from about 2-3 years ago stocked in it. And because it is north is behind in the spawn. Beautiful spot. Good luck. Catch/pic/release. I don't have to tell you that though.
