Although it is a little early and the Larto stage is a little high, yet steady, the conditions are near perfect for a spawn. The water temperature is 65°F, the barometer is 30.11 and steady, off a fall, and we are on the back side of a full moon. These conditions will only last until Thursday so you may want to give it a try. The next possibility for these conditions to exist is not until early March. I wish that I could go but the boss has other plans for me this week.
The mild winter will bring a early spawn . I bet some are shallow if its in the 60s

That's funny you would bring this up, I was by a friend of mines house yesterday making a trade of empty egg cartens and filets for fresh yard eggs. While walking to the back garage he has all kinds of fruit trees and the cooking pear trees had buds and blooms on them. Another sunny day and they will flower. Crazy weather 75* yesterday.
Once the pecan trees start budding, it is officially Spring!Quote:

Huh...y'all think? My first year fishing the spawn so was looking forward to it. I did notice recent pics where fish were starting to look darker. Maybe there's something to this!
The females have eggs but they're mighty small right now where I'm fishing

Got a report from a private pond here in Baton Rouge....big male crappie caught right on the bank with a roadrunner...several reports from same pond....
More to it than just water temps, the eggs havent had time to form yet
shallow fish dont always mean they are spawning. January is one the best times to run yoyos in some of the north Louisiana lakes and those fish are not close to spawning. The yoyos are sometimes right on the bank and water temps very cold
Yes, that's why I prefaced my remarks with "early yet". The eggs are usually not developed until mid-February, however, this has been an unusual year.Quote:

I don't consider yoyo-ing fishing, just harvesting fish. It's perfectly OK if you need fish to eat.
When you see redwing black birds in the ditches and close to the edges of water , it’s time ! ��
I completely agree with this remark!Quote:
