"getting close to the WB spawn at AF?"
[cool][#0000ff]I am thinking that by next week the whities will be storming the beaches and swimming up the flows. Of course the weather plays a big part in that, but they are READY.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]We did not see any whitie-like marks on sonar until the water began warming, later in the morning. Then there were lots of small schools suspending at mid-depth. That is characteristic white bass behavior when they are in an inactive feeding mode and we could not buy a bite on anything. A couple of us got strays by bouncing plastics on the bottom...and the males were dripping.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I predict that once the average low temps for the day stay above 60 degrees the whole lake is gonna go bananas...white bass, carp and catfish. Then the walleyes will go on a major post spawn feeding binge. May will be magic. June will be just wonderful.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Get your schedule straight and we can go do something...even if it is wrong. Probably will be.[/#0000ff]
