Thanks I went the first week of march last year and it was still pretty cool .The water was 52 on average .But the bigger bass wasnt in the creeks yet . We caught several bass but most of them was 2 or 3 pounders ,dad did catch 1 about 6 pound but it was pretty slow.I didnt know if I needed to wait till the lillys came on out or just go the last of march ,first of april.
