I fished with a buddy of mine Sunday / Monday on KY and we did fair on Monday. Sunday seemed like there were boats everywhere and I had a hard time focusing on what the fish were doing with all of the traffic and we ended up quitting around noon. We fished shallow all morning and caught 2 keepers and several short fish. Monday it looked up a bit. After a slow start and a diversion chasing bluegills I pegged a 4.5 lb smallie on a surface bait which got us motivated to keep after it. We didn't kill them but we ended up with 5 keepers including another 5.5 lb smallie. All of the action we found was shallow -- shockingly shallow. Those two good smallies were both in 1' to 2' of water. I figure we picked them off as they pulled up for a quick bite in that I saw this quite a bit both days -- big blasts right on the bank. They are definitely starting to push up but as Dave points out the numbers aren't up yet...
