    Was just searching and found this. At what water temps do you think they will start to turn on this spring?
    40? 42? 45?

    They start at 42 and turn on pretty much at 45

    Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again

    45 to 60 is optimum
    small schoolies can take it to around 40 to 42 same as when they come in the spring

    ^^^^ What he said. We were catching some schoolies around 43 in March. That was with tapeworms tho. The last week with temps in the 50s has been pretty good for us. Only got bluefish that one night. Wish this weather pattern would last for the next month.

    Thank you gents that is helpful. One of these days I will purchase a thermometer at the store that can handle being tossed in the water and bring it with me.
