Timing The Spawn

[Cane Pole]

I am assuming the fish will move in when the water temp calls for it....... but what do they do when we get a cold spell like we have just experienced. Move back and wait for the water temp to come back up?

When I speak, I am referencing my area on Ky Lake. But, what I say mostly applies to most places, but not all.

What I actually know/believe basically is in the article link below.

That is a great article, thanks again for sharing your knowledge with me and other readers.
Ky lake is my home lake also, although I am trying to migrate over to Barkley where the tactics that is working on Ky Lake don't always work at the same time period on Barkley. We are in the process of putting stake bed buckets out on Barkley in hopes of creating some honey holes.

Honeyholes. Remember this. The best spots are already taken. All locations are hit and miss. Best thought out places can yield 0. Only about 1 out of 4 or 5 produce. Honeyholes don't last long (too many SI'ers). Keep at it. Replenish what works. Last, I will find it if it is near me.

Lol. I totally understand people being able to find it and fish yit, I am good with that because I have marked over 500 spots in the past year that someone else put in. I put a lot of stuff in the like 20 years ago and have hardly ever finished since then the last couple years I have started Croppie fishing consistently.
Most bays that I fish already have an abundance of brush piles in them, I am concentrating on the main lakes. I don't see many people out there fishing I'm not sure if it's because there isn't many fish out there or if it is just usually too rough to fish, what is your opinion about fishing on the main lake.

I agree... I can catch a few in evenings to early mornings in the creeks (bank fishing) but when the water comes up the bite picks up a lot.

Warm days in row anytime after the water temperature rises from its winter low about 5 to 10 degrees
triggers me ......I bet it's similar in other states as well

Be sure to go my the morning water temps and I agree when the water comes up the bite is on for me also.

Big Lake? I fish the Big Sandy quiet often. The Big Sandy is a treasure trove of big fish, especially pulling cranks.
