Bass Fishing Seasonal Patterns

Spring Time Bass Fishing: 

Spring Time is one season out of the year that you want to bee-line it for the shallows being that the bass are coming out of the deep water after all winter to feed and start making the beds for the female to lay her eggs.

This is one time of year it is a no-brainer where to fish, the shad will be out already and moving along the banks and the Big Bass Hogs know it.

The only draw back is the weather. It changes so much and you must adjust your fishing. I look to see if the wind is blowing and head for that bank. The wind will blow plankton and bait fish right up to the dinner table.

The other is the chance of rain and like my Grandpa use to say "The fish are already wet; they don't care if it is raining" and I know all of you have heard that just after a spring rain the bass bite the best.

It is a simple and true statement for this reason.  All of the little bugs and worms are popping out of the ground and the rain washes them into the water. Along with the bait fish that are already present, the bass hogs are ready to get their share of a good meal.

I like to use Spinner Baits and Crank Baits at this time and the time of day and lake conditions will tell you whether to use a Buzz Bait, Frog, Zara Spook, or Top Water Bait.

Using Top Water Bait in a little chop or ripple on the water has been proven to be a good bait for me; the bass will not be able to see you and before the bass hogs know it, they are caught.

Early in the morning and late in the evening are the best times for top water, however I have been proved wrong many of times by the fish, I think that they throw me a curve every once in a while.
