Hey guys with Spring/Summer fast approaching I was wondering..... How do you know when its time to transition from winter fishing to spring/summer Fishing? Are there specific things that I need to be looking for? Is it just trial and error?

when there is not much action on the steep channel banks on the main lake or where a feeder creek and man channel meet. The more sunlight in the day the more likely the fish are moving towards shallower water. As you probably have read some really big fish were caught right after a full moon and we are in March is the days have gotten longer.

I will finally be getting out on the water in the next couple of weeks so hopefully they start moving shallower.

Fishing is better after daylight savings time. The fish have an extra hour of sunlight.....at least that's what I read last year, here on the forum

when the turtles start sunning on the logs I know its time! This, plus snake activity also. And of course, increasing water temperatures.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

"An extra hour of sunlight?" OMG! I thought the same thing when I read it last year. The guy really thought we randomly got an extra hour of daylight.

When you start to see crawfish mounds popping up.
