"Ooooh I'm sorruh, the correct ansuh is B - "69 baby, 69!" You shoulda used your phone a friend! Schplurg had the correct ansuh!"

 

That's bad but I'm posting it anyways LOL.

 

Edit:

Wakes up sober next day "did I really type that?"

Mid 40s to low 50s

55-59 degrees, that's big girl prespawn here...

55 degrees- Prespawn smallmouth

My favorite is between 80° and 85°. That's because that is the most comfortable water for me to take a swim in.

 

Other than that, I don't worry about it too much as I have no control or even influence over water temperature. I just need to figure how I am going to catch fish on the plastics I end up throwing at least 90% of the time.

Mid 80's.  When the water temp finally makes it into the mid 80's is usually around the same time the wind starts to die down, and I can usually go fishing whenever I want.  

As long as my internal temperature is not freezing , water temp doesn't play much in my books.

 

Living in Florida don’t have much choice but prefer around 70-75 right now the water must be around 200 ?

For bigger females, March and early April (pre-spawn & temps in 50's or low 60's) in SE Virginia and SW Missouri. For numbers and an occasional bass up to 5 lbs., all summer (water temps in the 80's) dawn-9:00AM and the last two hours in the evening. I want to do more night fishing this year though to try out the 11:00PM -3:00AM slot. Did it once last year and unfortunately we fished a bad area (that's my excuse anyway  ).

I like the 45-50 for big fish and because there's fewer people on the water.
