jim,
any time, they bite all winter long. so theres plenty of time. each spot can only handle so much pressure, but im still looking for more spots and techniques to get them to hit. im new to fishing for smallies, but im on a crash course to figure them out, and these fish are reacting strange, one day you go and crush them and the next they are gone, gone gone. i hate to say it but i am lost bigtime somedays,but i would like to take some of you guys out when i can put you on fish for sure.
