i think you are learning some valuable info about water temps in the lake and how water movement and volume changes water temps.  i think you also discover to not put too much emphasis on surface temps when it comes to bass spawning.  pay attention to how the changes affect changes in the whereabouts of not only the bass, but the food chain.  bass are going to where the food is.  i have no doubt this will help anyone's fish catching.

Bo - you're comment couldn't have come at a better time. I'm compiling data on bait behavior at various water temperatures. FInd the bait, find the fish - regardless of whether some are spawning or not. Seems like that is where the rubber meets the road as far as water temperatures. Sure, it affects metabolism, etc of the game fish, but the bait is the real key.
