Thank you Tom! I have been looking for info on the spawning cycle in SOCAL's warmer waters and have been having trouble finding any reliable info. Plenty of info on the average water temps of SoCal's lakes but I couldn't find anything on when the actual spawn cycle starts considering that the waters average higher temps year round than what I was used to in the northeast and the midwest. I've seen you post really helpful info all over this forum so I'm gonna take your word for it and plan to fish accordingly when I go out next weekend. Thanks again!
