so when that guy Alton says its just about the daylight then he is wrong?
and Todd from Oklahoma is wrong when he said it as well ?
WOW silly me thought the pro anglers would know
I think the single most important factor is length of daylight just like them fellas
if not please explain how it is they spawn up north on ice out ?
water temps are WAY below what the posters here say to look for
....

Maybe fish finders should give you the day length instead of the water temp...

Was wondering if anybody knows why the fish are already up shallow spawning on Falcon but they're not on Fork, LOP, Tawakoni? Also wondered why fish spawn on the upper end of the lake about a month before they spawn on the lower end of the same lake. Guess they got a lot longer days down in South TX than they do in North TX. And the upper end of the lake gets a longer day than the lower end.

There is something called Latitude in play here. It's perpendicular to longitude.
Farther south you go the longer the daylight hours.

True, but as the earth tilts, the daylight hours actually get longer in N TX than S TX. The hours of daylight are equal on March 21. Right now there is 9 minutes difference. Amazing how much difference 9 minutes can make in a crappie's spawn cycle.
