Thread: Identifying a Potential Spawning Bank

That spawn spot picture was taken on 3/19/12. All fish were males that day. 2 days later we had a flood and the river rose 15+ ft.

that's weird.....

One of my favorite places is along a bank where the electric co trims the limbs off of the cypress trees and throws them in the water. They've been doin it for years and it just keeps getting better. There's also patches of weed beds along that bank. Dang I can't hardly wait.

I have just been looking at my picture albums and the past 3 years swla spawn has been first week of march.

the spawn typically coincides with how busy I will be...it has a direct positive correlation...
