Water temp and spawn
 

What temp do Florida strain LMB build their nests and spawn?

Temp is measured at what depth?

I'm sure you will get better answers then I can give (70 degrees?) but I'll
mention something that I just heard on TV. An angler mentioned that the
larger bass spawn earlier then the smaller bass. That is, when the temp of
the water might be a few degrees cooler then when bass normally spawn. Just
something I heard.

To add another question for the group... how long are females typically on
their nests before the eggs hatch?

Just found this:

LM's in the Big "O", SHRED, spawn all year round but the most activity
occurs in late January and early February. Could be dependant upon how full
that reservoir is and moon phase?

Females usually drop their eggs and leave the nest. The male stays
around guarding them. Time to hatching depends on temperatures.

I believe water temperature is NOT the sole trigger for spawn, it has more
to do with the sun increasing and time of year.

They also spawn during the summer, and quite a bit in september on some
lakes.

Go someplace like Bass Pro where they have big aquariams, and the fish will
be spawning the same time as the outdoor fish in the area.

I think they use Bass Pro-tection in those tanks Pat...
