Water temperature is in the low to mid 50,is that warm enough for the Squarebills ?

Shallow to semi-shallow water with woody/brushy cover -  a square bill is always an option.   IMO

Oh Yes it is a good time to fish them. They peak in water from high in the mid 40's to low 60's. that is a pretty good range for them. I like Wiggle Warts and Rock Crawlers.

That is the perfect time for those!!!! 52 degrees to 60 degrees are prime temps for square bills.

Yes ~ Especially Flat sided Baits.

Ghost, happy retirement enjoy it. Hope you have your best season this year. Good fishing. 

Yup............I switch to squarebills and soft jerkbaits, from lipless baits and suspending hard jerkbaits round about 50-52 degrees. Actually I will throw all four of them until the water is solidly in the high 50's/low 60's and then the squarebill/soft jerkbait combo really takes over. I will also fish a squarebill around wood no matter what the water temp is.

Yes and along with a subltle action Bandit 100, I have done well with the new last year Strike King shallow SB. They really seemed to like that bait with a slight pause.

Congratulations!!!

I expect you to be the epitome of wisdom this time next year.  No excuses!

Welcome to the club!  Now you will find yourself relaxing on weekends when everyone else is whipping the water to a froth or motoring up and down constantly. 

 And let's not forget the busy bustle of the launch site.  Or rushing to your favorite hole with 3 boats already fishing it  

   Go out on a Monday and enjoy the peace and quiet. 

You earned it!!
