rattle bite question

[mikie]

In Tony's seminars, he describes the springtime rattlebait bite as being most effective between two temp. ranges. I've misplaced my notes, does anyone recall what those temps were? thanks, m

Mikie I think the temps would be 50 to 60 degree I do know things really crank up when water temps reach 52 so i would asume anywherte in between would be good .Now im not say you cant sling traps in colder water and catch fish because at that time of year they will be there to feed so dont count out feb. in the later days ive seen some real pigs come from the cave in feb.Any time the weather permits is really ok to be fishing hope i was able to help.....Joseph Cornett

That does help a lot, thanks so much. Still looking forward to hitting the River with you, maybe I'll see you down at Tony's for the March outing. m

The bite has been starting at about 40 degrees and runs consistent till about 55 degrees they will still go till the water reaches 60 to 65 they just slow some prime time is 45 to 52 my records say

I'll be down there in a couple of weeks, does any know what the water temps are? Also are any fish being caught?

[Tony Grant]

Water temps range from 40 to 44 degrees depending on areas of the lake. I know of a few fish caught over the weekend but some boats scored nothing. Look for it to pick up after the next coldfront passes
