Greg:

So keep taking all bass under 15"? Should one reduce taking these fish based on the season? Right now my water temp is 63 degrees. The fish are stcked up in 13 - 21' of water on secondary points getting ready to move up and start setting up nests. The females are full of row. A good number of males cruising the shallows and looking for nest sites. Should I not take out females with eggs at this time of year and let them spawn? I can tell the males from the females based on their egg filled guts. Should I target the males I see in the shallows?

After the spawn I won't be able to tell males from femailes - so should I just take out all I catch under 15" as the rule and keep taking around 15 lbs. per acre or 1,500 lbs. total per year?
