I do a yearly "kids outing" with my boys to target smallmouth, go swimming and hit 19 Mile Bay for ice cream and lunch this weekend. We do this during early June as it is a "numbers day" for smallmouth and we catch smallies until the kids complain their arms hurt. However, this year our numbers of smallies are way down and our rock bass catch is WWWAAYYY up. I'm not a scientist (though I did stay at Holiday Inn) but it seems these rock bass are impacting the smallmouth.
