Pond bass spawn at 60-65°F — March-April in Mid-South ponds, April-May in Northern ponds. Spawn affects fishing by concentrating fish in shallow bedding cover and producing a 2-3 week pre-spawn window with the year's largest fish staging on flats. Pond spawn typically runs slightly earlier than larger lakes.
