Prespawn Bass Fishing With Worms, Creature Baits, and Swimbaits - A Day On The Water

We're back in Florida, avoiding the cold and chasing big bass! Matt's family joins him today for a fun day on the water, dialing in patterns and catching quality fish. We love to power fish in Spring but sometimes you have to listen to the fish and just slow down. Today's biggest fish fell for a plastic worm, but that didn't stop Matt from finding a frog bite in the end! 

We love to focus on power fishing in early Spring but weather is the ultimate deciding factor. You can be on an amazing reaction bite one day but the next you'll need a spinning rod in your hand if cold weather comes in. Planning for the best while preparing to adapt, is the name of the game in the early season. With mixed weather in the forecast, Matt and CC had everything from heavy punching, to light plastic worms, to swimbaits, and frogs, all ready to go when conditions dictated. 

If you're tired of the cold, a quick trips South might be just what you need. But take heart, the prespawn will be here before you know it, no matter where you live. If you're interested in what we were using today we've linked all the baits and equipment in the description below. We've included the exact colors, weights, hook sizes, etc. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
