Cold front...

you should doubt some things on this board. and yes i am in the southern most tip of the state, and have been fishing small lakes since my outboard went kaputt. the water is warm down here, and the first waves are spawning/have spawned out, depending on the lake. you are right in that patoka and especially monroe will not be spawning for a few weeks most likely, but this is the warmest spring we have had in a long time that i can remember. from my water temp records, i'm seeing temperatures in the lakes i fish more than 10 degrees above normal for this time of year.

steve I'm not going to doubt you anymore.....I'm just shocked that bass have already spawned in any body of water that is not a small pond. I'm sure you know this, but water temps are not the only factor that leads fish to spawn though. I hope they start spawning up here soon!
