214 views and 8 replies? OK I will toss my hat into the ring- and vote for 50-55. Why? I will guess that this water temp is a transtional period trigger for the bass- seeing as bait tends to skedaddle when it drops below 55 (kind of a fall-specific answer, I confess, I don't have enough logged spring fishing to make a statement that covers both brackets)... so whatever reserves of energy they may have stored up are all for this particular period of time. They are on the move, and are more tuned to firing on all cylinders to stay alive. Migrating has to be something they get keyed up for, running gauntlets up and down the coast ( do they get picked off by tuna? Makos? Off topic, i know)... Logic aside and going to my not substantial memory bank tells methat the hardest fights I've had have been in rougher, i.e. more hightly oxygenated water as has been noted by many of the gentlemen above.
