51 degrees and bass on beds... really? ;)

Post by brendanc »

High of 51 degrees water temps and bass on beds... really? Got out this weekend on my bass boat. With the full moon approaching, sun shining for two days and air temps breaking into the high 60's, no mater what the water temps are reading, you've gotta take a look up shallow at some point during your day and I'm glad I did. Water temps were ranging from 48 degrees to a high in the afternoon of 51.5 degrees.... not exactly typical spawning temps, but the other factors took precedent and sure enough there were #largemouth #bass up shallow making and even sitting on beds. I managed to coaxes a couple of these larger females into biting a black jig. Saw many others cruising around the area and some real pigs too. All and all a good day on the water. Can't wait to start tournament fishing next week!
