One more note: If you actually find smallies on their nests you will need to slow down the presentation as they will ignore a fast moving spinnerbait. The male bass are interested in protection at this time more than feeding. Any bait/lure that lingers near an occupied nest will be attacked. Large 4" tubes and grubs work really well for this.

Agree 100%.  Chompers skirted doubletail scented plastics are da bomb for this scenario. Cast past any nests you can see and work them in, just letting them drop and rest with a few twitches inside the nest.  The males will pick them up to move them off the nest. That's when you slam it home and hold on!
