Largemouths arising from their slumber?

So, what are the chances the wintering largemouths would be getting more active lately in the smaller lakes due to the mild temperatures?

I have actually been hearing zillions of frogs in the woods across the street the last few evenings.  Seems way out of place for January, but I suppose it's due to the wet, warm weather!  ???

Hey Dip,

World famous angler, Nick Culver, and I are going to try for some largemouths on the small lake near his home tomorrow. We'll let you know the results.

Anybody know what water temperature is generally required in order for them to start getting more active?

Tipicaly when the water hits the 50* mark is when you should start looking for largemouth.  The earliest I find them on a consistant basis is around the middle of march.  Brian (The Weedwalker)

No luck yesterday, Stu. The water temperature on Lake Kathleen was about 42 degrees, and we figure it was still so cold because of ice cover it recently had. Even this warm weather wasn't enough to overcome that. We fishes most of the lake with jigs, dropshot rigs, and even a husky jerk to no avail.

Thanks for the info, Brian.

What's this?  The world famous Nick Culver and regionally (at least) famous Sarge came up empty for bass?  Wink
