BloodyWaters (12/13/2009)Water temp for river,yes. it's not necessarily all to do with the temp though. you'll definitely find them in the holes and cuts. The bite has been very lazy though. Wait till it gets closer to spawning season when they start to need to fatten up, they'll eat anything they can.

Continue my education here. I thought trout went to the rivers for warm or more stable water temperatures, didn't know they were preparing to spawn? How often do trout spawn?(I've only been inshorefishing a few years and living near BirminghamIonly get to fish in saltwater 9 or 10 timesper year) I have heard/read and concluded that trout move into the gulf or somewhereto spawnearly to midOctober? Idraw my conclusions from night fishing in September vs. October.September seems to be good, butat some point in Octoberit'sdifficult tocatch a keeperSpec.So if you had to say when they start to fatten up would say end of December based on normal factors?This will be the third yearfor an afterChristmas fishingtrip. We hit the rivers. The first year we didn't catchbig numbers and last year we caught well over 100 in a 2 1/2 trip.We did sowell wedid another trip last week of January and didn't do well at all.Sowould you conclude it to bepossible we hit just right afterChristmas and by the end of January the spawn was finished?
