The first Bass spawn here usually happens with the first full moon after the water tamp hits 60. Then another one at the next full moon. Why the full moon, Ya got me, but it seems to hold true.

Bass, it all depends on where you are. up north they will spawn in the 40s -50s down south they will spawn only when then water is in the mid 70s and during the full moon. who knows.

here they seem to begin their prespawn feeding at 55deg and spawn normally starts at 60 to 65 deg.

Here in VA the smallies are starting to move on beds right now. The water temp varies with depth and location of course, But the average temp now is around 57 degrees f.
