Spring Clearlake Fishing With A-Rigs

Come along with Matt as he throws Alabama Rigs on Clearlake during the Prespawn for hungry Spring Bass! 

The Alabama Rig is an amazing way to catch Springtime bass as they bulk up for the spawn. The A-rig lets you cover water quickly while picking off both big bass and small bass at once. There are very few lures that appeal to all sizes of bass like the Alabama Rig does.

When the bass begin targeting shad or other bait fish in shallow water, its prime time to catch a big bass! Get ready to experience one of the best patterns you've ever seen by implementing the techniques Tim discusses in this video. 

Fishing With Underspins On Clearlake

Matt takes you out for a day on Clearlake throwing an underspin. With water levels receeding the fishing is more difficult than normal so Matt abandons his typical power techniques in favor of a small underspin. 

Bass fishing with an underspin is a great way to catch bass when conditions get tough. If you were on a spinnerbait or crankbait bite and the conditions get tougher consider switching to an underspin and you might just reactivate your fish.

The key is the combination of swimbait and flashing blade. The blade causes the lure to stand out from the shad or other baitfish so the bass are more likely to eat it. If you haven't fallen in love with the underspin, its time to give it a try!

Top Baits for Locating Bass During the PreSpawn

Each of these lures will help you catch bass during the prespawn this Spring. The Key to catching big bass is to cover water and find the aggressive fish. Tim explains how to use the different lure styles to your advantage as you try to locate bass.

Once aggressive bass are located you can switch between colors and styles of bait to keep the schooling fish active for as long as possible. Switching betwen a squarebill, jerkbait, alabama rig, etc... will keep them biting long after they would have given up on a single bait. Apply these bass fishing tips to your advantage this Spring and you'll begin catching more bass right away!
