New Personal Best Smallmouth (7lbs)

[gocats]

What was the average weight of the smallies you caught? Were most of those fish pre or post spawn? Where is a good place to stay for a week, nothing fancy. In your opinion, what is the best time to go as far as size?

We caught 1 or 2 legit 4 pounders, and the just 1 or 2 under 2 pounds. The avg was probably 3-3 1/2 pounds! All of the SM were post spawn. There is a red roof inn off of I-94 in Roseville and it runs $60/night. I think the best times for the Giant prespawn fish would be May, but June-Aug is hot fishing. They move out to 11-15 fow and pack up in schools.
