All the talk about the spawn inspired me to check some spots they should show up, but nothing yet. 2 tiny ones and a monster shoepick that soaked me. I got him in the net though, and when I released him he soaked me again. I felt the cold water go straight down to my butt. I was coming in soon anyway and he gave me some "live action".
Hey MMT,
IMO they spawn later in the rivers. Water temp stays lower longer.
Hey, I fished all around stephensville Sunday, water temps were steady 53.5 deg...
Seems early there too.
Caught me a few of those fresh water sharks Sunday, they will absolutely destroy a white/chartruse spinner bait....
Gotta say one thing, every one you catch has a big smile/grin on when you pull em' in!!!
I think you are right. The Mermentau has some 40' holes.Quote:
