A post from the Mid-West where it was 62 degrees yesterday.

Everything I have read says the Bass are phototropic. This means they react directly to the amount of daylight. As the days get longer, their instincts tell them to migrate. Same in the Fall, in reverse naturally.

Historically I can remember 97-98 was avery warm winter. My log books show the first schoolies at the West Wall in Narr on March 19. Maybe a week or 2 early but not significant. The next really warm winter was 2006. I had my first keeper at Deep Hole on April 25. Again nothing out of the ordinary about that either.

We may see the Bass a week or two early but I wouldn't expect them before St Pats Day.

No boat, back in the suds.
