Spawned Or Not?

[Jason Essary]

Ok guys, whats everyones thought. We caught an 8lber this week with a bloody tail, but other than that saw no sign of spawning. Do you think they are still wanting to do their thing? Or im starting to believe that most have gave up on it this year?

have been watching several male and females behind my dock for last few weeks all have come and gone have seen none for last few days or week have caught several out in ten to fifteen shakey head jig c rig seem to be holding in these depth pretty faithfully good luck water seems awfully stained for this time of year not sure why

mother nature has a funny way of making things even. The next good warming trend will bring all the species back in for a normal spawn. That warming trend looks like it will begin toward the end of the week. As usual, end of April, first part of May will be spawn time in the Ozarks. My grandpa always said it was related to the amount of daylight. Words of wisdom, most every year in my many years of watching it has held true.

I still think there are a lot yet to spawn. I caught several Kentuckies and Largemouth this weekend fat as could be with bloody tails. It's definetly been a weird year for the spawn though.

The first week of April we caught a 5.9 LM in Aunts Creek that had spawned out and a 4.8 LM in Fisher's Creek that had spawned out. Of course all fish don't spawn at the same time and there will be another wave of fish the next full moon or warm spell.

Obviously some have spawned but there will be another wave come up with this warming trend and full moon the first week of May

Catching pre and post often in the same type of place around 13. Have only seen one for sure and certain bed. That was up in Whites Branch. Watched him fan for a few minutes but he was still alone. Might be dry now.

Was trolling cranks for walleye at Baxter on Saturday. Turned out I was bass fishing (yuck). Caught 25+ bass, all varieties. Had 7 or 8 in the 17" class. Caught bass at all depths from 14-27'. Most of the larger fish came from 23-27' on the edges of flats, and all looked spawned out.

Caught a 3 lb LM in Aunts Creek this morning. She was soooo fat with eggs, I thought she was gonna pop.
