I've found out something else as get older, getting up at 4:30 or 5 AM is tuff, but I'll keep doing it if I can land quality fish.

I've never found bluegill in Smith spawning in less than 8 or 9 ft. One can see fish at 15 ft. depths or better in the super clear water on this lake. In fact it is considered one of the clearest lake in the South.
