Az spawn

[Skeeterpeter]

Well it's getting towards spring what's the temps to look for for spawning fish in az? Also what kinda of structure do you look for in these lakes?

[Fishless]

depends on species, small mouth are close to spawning time and water temp, most warm water species 62 degress, different species spawn in different type of stucture

[Skeeterpeter]

Crappies.

the books say 62. but I think later say 66-68 and the moon plays a significant role. that's why we do crappie fest around the moon cycle.

Every year I try and chase the crappie spawn.  It seems like about a week of 80 degree weather does the trick. Maybe they wait for good weather like myself.  I usually fish Bartlettand the last 5 years it's been a crap shoot, no consistency what so ever.

that's the truth, bartlett can be weird and especially with SRP dumping the lake again this spring
