Where Bass Go In Spring!! (And How To Catch Them)
Spring fishing is here and bass are on the move! Today we're explaining why bass are transitioning and how to predict their movements in your local lake. Let us help you get ahead of them so you aren't one of the guys struggling during the prespawn. We'll show you where the bass are headed so you can get there first and catch them as they arrive!
Before the spawn, bass focus on feeding. As they transition from Winter haunts to Spring spawning grounds, they make key stops along the way. These stops differ slightly on reservoirs, lakes, and ponds. In today's video, Tim breaks different types of fisheries into 4 groups and explains how bass move in each one. Once you've identified which group your local lake, pond, or river fits into, you're ready to fish!
Tim relies heavily on reaction baits to quickly locate and catch Spring bass. Below you'll find links to our favorite baits, including our favorite sizes, colors, and trailers. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
