How To Catch Shallow Bass Right Now! (Shad Spawn Fishing)
Its time! The bass are shallow and you can catch them! There is a short window in Spring when shad are spawning and bass are aggressively chasing them, don't miss it! Come along for a crazy morning on the water as Matt takes full advantage of the shad spawn bite!
The shad spawn is an open door for bass fishermen to have a great morning on the water. Forget the post-spawn blues, get up early, and catch a bunch of fish! The key to this pattern is fast moving baits with flash, combined with likely locations for a spawn. At first light the shad will be spawning along shallow banks, grass, even docks, and the bass will be ready to ambush them!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt used in the video. We've also included his exact rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
