Red, on the susky I have found over the years that april may months have been the ticket for spawning pattern . Big fish in coves that are thoughthe years been the same area of activity. I usally left alone these areas do to they do not need me messing with them when guy are already keying in on this .they have often caught the fish by adapting there large bass plastics to get the fish to move or investigate the disaterbance.. I have caught fish in mid to late may with the same tactic. this was primarally site fishing or luck? But I recall one time a 48 fish on a 4 inch green grub it was all I had in comparision, major over cast of the bait you know frantic light . came to ivestagate it like picked it up not as food though it was wierd. set the hook bagged him .
