Where Do Bass Go In Early Spring? (Beginner To Advanced Tips)

Spring is coming and bass are beginning to move! Listen closely as Tim explains how the bass transition on different types of lakes and when you should expect it to begin on your local fishery. Let us show you what the bass will do next, so you can get ahead of them and experience awesome fishing as we transition into the prespawn.

We all understand that bass are focused on feeding before they spawn. But how do you apply that to your fishing? Where should your first stop be the next time you hit the water? Obviously its not going to be the same on a giant reservoir, a small pond, or a meandering river. In today's video Tim separates the different kinds of fisheries and explains what to expect in each one so you have the best shot at success!

Once you understand why the fish are moving and where they are heading you can predict their movements through changing conditions. Below is a breakdown of Matt and Tim's best confidence baits for Spring bass fishing including their favorite colors. We've also included links to the electronics we trust to locate our fish during the transition.
