What water temp to get things started?

[Surfpirate]

there are two schools of thought as to when the bite starts, for some water temp is the key, while others believe it is the angle of the sun that signals the migration.

until the fish start talking, we will never know.

I know believe that the water temp has anything to do with when & where // for years i did >> but not any more ><><<><

50 is usually the taget number, but when you have a shallow or dark bottomed bay, the sun can heat up the water between tides, creating a temprary surge in temps, and subsequently the fish bite as well.
