Planning a trip to Kelley's mid-April. Does water temp make a huge difference on whether I should be running cranks vs harnesses mid-April around Kelley's?

Once the water temperature reaches 50 degrees worm harnesses can start to out produce crankbaits. I'll generally start running harnesses along with my crankbaits when the water temperature reaches 45 degrees.

Don't forget spoons at this time also. Kind of in the middle of transition time, I think. Maybe one of the pros will weigh in.
