[QUOTE=swimjigboy;444531]So those of us who plan all year for our trips. Get one shot at it and when the 1st week of May comes around I guess we are screwed. Like in 2008 Flowers dead, water down to normal pool fished put out and we all miss the flippin' bite. My nightmares have already begun!:([/QUOTE]

Just like a woman.
[QUOTE=Fntsyfbgod;444475]The spawn is still over a month away from getting going good. And the spawn last a while not all fish spawn at once so it wouldn't be that bad.[/QUOTE]
from alot of the reports im reading about local lakes i see that temps are around 50-52. i was thinking bass spawn in 55-65 degree water. are we really that far away?
The last 2 years I have saw Spots locked down tight & go back 2 to 3 weeks later & there isn't a drop of water where they had spawned. Imagine what it has done to the Large & Smallmouth spawn also. This is Cumberland that I'm talking about by the way.
Many lakes in KY see the same thing happen. As fishermen it hurts to see nest on dry land. But the alternative is having houses down river. We have to give it up to our fish and wildlife. They keep up with the bad spawns and replenish our lakes for our fishing pleasure. Makes paying for a license a little easier. I fish Cave Run quite often and if F&W did not stock it on the bad years it would not have any green fish.

My fishing has picked up over the years. Im not one to complain about the F&W. They seem to do a good job to me. Just makes fishing lakes and ponds easier if the spawns get messed up.
