To be a better bait fishing angler it is very important to understand what the ideal temperature for gamefish such as flathead catfish, channel catfish, bluegill, largemouth bass, striped bass, crappie, northern pike, smallmouth bass, walleye, yellow perch, muskellunge, brown trout, chinook salmon, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, coho salmon, brook trout and lake trout. To go bait fishing for all of these game fish you need to know how water temperature effects each of these species of fish.
Typically if you are going to be bait fishing in warm water which would be a temperature range of 70 degrees Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, you could target game fish such as flathead catfish, channel catfish, blue catfish, bluegill, crappie, largemouth bass and striped bass. For example the ideal temperature for crappie is 71 degrees Fahrenheit and if you are bait fishing for crappie and the water is at the crappie’s ideal temperature you can expect the crappie to be active if weather conditions are favorable. If you are a channel catfish angler you can expect the channel catfish to be feeding regularly at this temperature range so get all your bait fishing gear ready because these fish will be active. And if you bait fish at night your catch of channel catfish will be even better.
Now if you are going fishing on a regular basis when the water temperature ranges from 61 degrees Fahrenheit to 69 degrees Fahrenheit you could go bait fishing for fish species such as northern pike, smallmouth bass, walleye, yellow perch, and muskellunge. For example the bait fishing for walleye gets really hot when the water temperature reaches 69 degrees Fahrenheit. You most likely will find suspended walleye at the depth where the water temperature is in their ideal temperature of 69 degrees or at a temperature that is closest too it.
Now if you are targeting game fish such as brown trout, chinook salmon, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, or lake trout you will need to find very cold water ranging in temperature from 50 degree Fahrenheit to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. For example if you are going to be bait fishing for brook trout with nightcrawlers with no weights find a nice cold mountain stream and let your your nightcrawler drift along in the current.
