Hey guys, here in my hometown(cottonwood) az I an trying to figure out when bass will be moving up shallow to make beds forspawning. The temp. has been around 70-80. Any help?

The air temp. Not water.

They should be spawning right now.

Ive been out multiple times, they haven't even started moving shallow.

As of yesterday I firmly believe the bass are close to full spawn. However I had a hard time enticing the bite on their beds they seemed really skiddish. Switched to a finess bait and landed 6 within about 45 minutes. Shad color baits are doing well right now too.

Also remember that the carp are also spawning and can reach sizes much larger than the average arizona bass. These big carp spook the bass (they eat their eggs if im not mistaken) so if you find yourself next to a lot of carp you may want to switch locations.

They're just beginning to move up at Roosevelt. I assume they run a little later at your elevation.
