I'll be making my yearly late april pilgramage down this coming weekend. Sat thru mon but I'm a little worried with all the snow and cooler temps in the south this year that I may be too early for the spawn and good fishing in the shallows. I'm without a boat so I depend on that. I suppose I could take my tube. Anybody have any reports or water temps? Are the fish moving up yet? Thanks......

Let me know how it goes as I will be down there over mothers day.

I know that a group called the "Ultimate Bass Teams Tour" had a 22 boat tournament there over the weekend.
The big fish was just over 7 lbs! Their website said,
"Mother Nature finally gave us a break and held back the winds for the most part of the day, it appears the nice weather and longer days are starting to push the fish towards the banks in preparation for the spawn."
Here are a couple links about that tourney:

I hope no one is fishing it right now.
Just looked on weather.com.... Winds over 50mph right now in St. George.
I knew it gets breezy down there, but, yikes.

I just booked quailcreek campground for 3-8 May, my dad is flying in on 1 may and I am taking him down for the week with boat (16" Nitro w/90hp). I hope the bass are up and spawning and also the crappie.... last time we were there we got into large crappie's...... I have a small 12' john boat I bought NEW a couple years ago and it weighs only 85 lbs... you can borrow it if you want, I have a electric trolling motor u can use also... let me know... I do have a trailer also with that boat if you would like to use it or it can go on top a vehicle... here is a pic from a couple years ago at Quail with this little boat. Here is how I first brought it there.... It is setup for pedestal's with bass seats, which I have and can give you. All you need is a battery for the trolling motor... The wiring is ran from front to back so the battery is in the back. Let me know if you want to use it...
