Chad and Eric, while you maybe be 100% correct about too hot to haul, we stopped last week ourselves but b/c the fish are not "running the banks". It try to time shad stocking when the fish are spawning. Other folks sell themm when temps are 60-80 range. We go a little farther. The hatchery calls me when they are up for spawning. This year was pretty typical with cold fronts, etc. and they would go back down after a cold snap, etc. It is difficult b/c we had to get 43 loads (4-5K mature fish) out between last week of March and 2nd week of May. I told clients just like you that we could get them on the list for next year when in reality I think they woudl haul just fine with a less than 3 hr run but they would not establish since they have already spawned out. my 2 cents
