Regional Pre-Spawn...

Sacramento Delta probably has a spawn from late Feb. to August or later.
The waterway covers an area from San Francisco Bay to Sacramento witch is at
least 90 miles straight line distance. And the water is anywhere from 2' to
90' deep, with side sloughs that warm earlier than the main channels. IF we
could not fish during the spawn times, we would be off the water most of the
year. Bass is an all year season here. Except for it being cold and foggy,
and have to do some work on the house, I would take the flost tube down to
the local ponds.

When do you folks feel your pre-spawn generally starts ramping up?

Here in middle Georgia - around mid to late Feb. Lake Seminole is 200
miles
south of me and some fish spawn there in Jan and Feb in mild years. I have
caught bass off the bed here as last as July tho. Wide range of times for
the
bass spawn. One biologist told me mid - GA spawn is 20 percent in March,60
percent in April and 20 percent in May
