Pics overload from opener weekend. Had a good time with family knocking out the other species first. Once bass trips start next week on Monday midday, it’ll be SMB’s for my boat and guests every day.

Shallow bays, backwaters, drainages. Warmest I’ve found at a few lakes is 55-56. Elsewhere 49-51, dead with no activity. All fish being caught in depths of 3ft and shallower.

Mud bays with lots of wood and emerging pads/ root systems and other cover sources. Couple fish at 20.5 and 21”. Otherwise lots of 2-3 pounders.
