How To Catch Bass During The Spawn! ( Beginner To Advanced + Underwater Footage )

This is everything you need to know about fishing during the spawn! Forget the hype, the white jigs, and chartreuse drop shots. There is a ton of misinformation and we're clearing it up! Come along for a deep dive into the world of bass fishing this time of year. From fish care and bass behavior, to the baits that help catch fish both on and off their beds, this is the information you need.

Whether you enjoy sight fishing or not, you're going to fish around spawning fish in the Spring. Understanding their mannerisms will help you adjust and catch fish. Today Tim breaks down a variety of misunderstood concepts. He focuses on effective boat positioning, sunglass lense colors, bait selection, bait color, and more!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each, along with some great rod and reel combos to fish them effectively.
