Top Baits For Post Spawn Bass Fishing!
The post spawn means bass are on the move and there are some great new ways to catch them! Gone are the finesse baits of early Spring and in are the power fishing techniques of late Spring and early Summer! Here's what you need to know to catch them!
As bass settle into the post spawn they split into two distinct groups. Some fish go back into the shallows to eat shad and bluegill around cover, while the rest head out to deeper water. They'll gather on outside points, humps, and creek channels where rock and hard bottom is present. Both groups can be a blast to fish for if you understand which baits to use.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits we're using this time of year. We've included our favorite colors, sizes, and hooks where applicable. We've also included some of the specialized gear we use to fish these baits. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
