In my experience, the bite starts at a higher water temp in the spring but continues into a lower water temp in the fall. Usually, 50* is kind of the magic mark in the spring, but they'll eat one down to 40* in the fall. I've caught some really nice frog fish in high 40 degree water in the spring on really nice, warm days though.
