At what tempature should I start fishing swimbaits?

Any time will work, in the cold water you might not get very many bites, but if you get a bite it might be the fish of a lifetime. Colder the water, slower the retrieve has been my experience so far, though I still consider myself as a novice at swimbaiting.

I'll start them up about the time the water in the late winter/early spring starts holding over 45 degrees through the overnights. I'll fish them on into May and June before I totally switch off of them. Fish them slow for starters, and the fish will let you know if you need to adjust.
