Where Did All the Smallmouth Go? The Post-Spawn Answer

from Bass Cast Radio · host Brian Carter

Post-spawn smallmouth seem to vanish overnight, but they haven't gone far — they're just on the move. In this episode, we break down how to track smallmouth as they transition from spawning flats to summer structure, why certain stopping points like points, ledges, and grass edges can stay productive for weeks, and how to use water temperature as a roadmap for where fish are in that journey. We also bust the myth that every smallmouth goes deep after the spawn, showing you why some fish stick to shallow cover all summer if the food's still there. Plus, we cover the finesse soft plastic presentations that consistently produce during this transition, no matter where the fish are holding. If your June smallmouth bite has felt unpredictable, this episode will help you find the pattern.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.
