"BRB" Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Has any seen any bass on beds here in Arkansas? I fish Greers ferry and Norfork. And so far I haven't found any on beds. Today the water temp was between 68-71 at Norfork. And we caught most of our fish at the mouth of coves. And they didn't look a like post spawn to me. I really thought with this warm weather and water would get them going. I don't know just seeing if anyone have seen beds yet? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 5, 2012 Global Moderator Posted April 5, 2012 I would think they should be. They've been catching them on beds at Table Rock and we've been seeing them on beds here in NE Kansas with water temps in the mid to high 60's. Quote
"BRB" Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 I thought they would be to to just havnt seen them. Quote
BenBassmaster Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 They're biting here ,but i havent seen no beds. Quote
"BRB" Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 I talk to a guy today that said yesterday he was on bull and catching post spawn fish. I fished Norfork the past two days and havnt seen them but caught a few females that was full of eggs. But your right the are biting. Manly the small mouths I've caught more 3+ lbs smallie this year then I ever had. Quote
Quillback Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 They are on beds here in NW Arkansas, but weather has been cooler the last couple of days and it seems to have pushed some of them off the beds. On the smaller lakes some fish have already spawned. Water temps at Beaver were between 62-65 Friday. The ADFG bass bios say that bass will begin bedding at 58 and spawn at 65. Quote
"BRB" Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 The water is warm enough. Just havnt see any. Quote
Quillback Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Buddy of mine caught a 3.5 lb spawned out female yesterday on Beaver. All the bass they caught were in the post/pre -spawn staging areas. Beds are hard to see in Beaver because of murky water. Talking LM and spots on Beaver, don't know what is going on at Norfolk or what the smallies are doing. Quote
"BRB" Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 Talk to a guy at Norfork yesterday and he said they was spawning last weekend and today on Greers ferry they look like post spawn fish to me. I guess I miss out on bed fishing this year. Quote
