My thoughts on all these OOS pics

[Johnny Bass]

In the last few years in the spring, I wil not fish less than 8 FOW. If you are fishing a shoreline and it is a shallow flat(under 5 feet), you can bet the bass are spawning there. Its as simple as that.

I question that one Johnny....I fished for 7 hours today.....in water no deeper than 4 feet......throwing cranks and spinners.....not a bass in sight....

Really? Was it a shallow flat near a shore line? Thats where I usually find them. I'm just sayin. For me personally. I wont fish under 8FOW in the spring. Unless it is a shallow lake, like Scugog. But thats just me.

You're not gonna come to Burwell with me and fish cats this year? It's only 4-5 feet deep there.

And how many bass did we catch there Markus? Zero. The only thing we caught there were Channel cats. I didn't catch anything else until after 9 or 10.(sheephead,suckers,ect.)

If Burwell were a prime bass spawning area. I wouldn't fish it. Unless I used Chicken liver or something like that. I know spots even from shore that can bag me big bass after big bass but wont go near them.

From shore it is harder to avoid spawning bass but from a boat it is much easier.

Shallow Flat with weed growth all over.....shore lines nice and close....

Like someone else mentioned, Down here in south central Ontario. they would be FULL of spawning bass. All along shallow flat shorelines.
