Thread: headed to POST spawn ALREADY ????

Going to find out today whats going on here. Yesterday would have been perfect but got round one of the rona shot... We shall see. Full moon on the 28th.

Wow, the water here is 49*f,down from 54* only 48hrs ago, they had come in, and went back out. If your observation of a fast moving spawn happens here, I better be on it, and stick with it. Thanks for your report.

Jeez, Ketchn! Spawned out you say! At my small main stream it still doesn’t look like anything is even alive! No minnows, no nothing. Recent rains did scour the bottom though, and that is a good sign. The fishies are still hiding but good!

trying to figure out the spawn is like figuring out what women want! Path to madness for sure. but it does change as weather does and water temp.

have seen it drag on for some time and hit it perfect couple of times and at other times missed it completely or with water way up they did their dance off shore SOMEWHERE.

that doesn't even take into account the white or black spawn. have seen everyone give up on missing spawn and be out on my home lake all by ourselves and accidentally toss plug up on edge of shore and suddenly get whacked by aggressive black male and then it was on! shore was alive with blacks and got our limit in short order that evening and went back in morning and they were still there. so called the wives over and we all were pulling them in 4 rods at a time and swinging them to me and i would sort out ones we wanted, fix or replace jigs and it was all done in half hour.

best thing to do always is if your like the Outlaw and can get at em most days keep dipping and they will come in and out.

Been tough here. Falling water has most fish hold 12-15 ft. But as most springs I fished shallow water hard for several hours Sunday. Finally found a nice pod of fish staging on one Cypress tree waiting for the next rain in 3 ft
13 total on jigs using 50lb braid with 10 lb hi-vis mono leader. 14 ft Berkley rod.
Fun stuff

If the spawn here on Joe Pool Lake has happened or is happening the guys did not get dressed up for their role. I am not seeing any in a full tuxedo at my slips. I fished my slips and the rocks from 3 pm to 10 pm last night. I caught 12 from 3 pm to 5 pm in the slips, not a tux among them. They stopped biting in the slips at 5 pm. They started bitting in the rock area behind the slips at 7 pm and stopped at 8:30 pm. I caught five during that period, 3 nice sized, 2 small. The 2 small ones had just started to show a little color and had a ragged tail. So I'm hopeful for this afternoon and tonight.

I checked the normal spawn areas on the lake Saturday and did not see any fish, in the spawn areas or the nearby drop-off areas.

Saturday the water temperature was 48. Yesterday it was 56.

Am going out to try again in a couple of hours.

They come in in waves..... You may have caught a few that were there a lot earlier than most think they go shallow....... My thinking anyway.....
