Early Spring / Time Of Day Question

[Lil'Gunner]

Hey, All...

 

Just wondering.. Do you get better action in mid-day during early spring pre-spawn, or is the old sunrise-sunset thing still in play? Logic tells me that since temperature is a big driver, mid-day would be best.

 

For all my years of  bassin', I've typically gotten a late start and missed the pre-spawn most years, and don't know that I've ever really followed a whole pre-spawn start to finish. I'm trying to change that. Thanks for any advice you have.

Yes, usually the bites will pick up in the afternoon to early evening as the water warms up.

Thanks; that seemed logical enough, though fish don't always follow logic, so worth an ask.

 

Wisconsin ex-pat here, too - Milwaukee / Hartland born and raised. Sure miss the kettle lakes with all the awesome natural structure; miss the pike and musky, too! (.. but not the cold; I'm sure you already filled that part in yourself).
