The Spawn Is Here!

Winter time is slowly bleeding into spring and this means in the bass fishing world that the pre-spawn and spawn is upon us. It’s the time where these bass will start moving up from depths in the hopes for a mate. Prior to the spawn, these fish will start gorging themselves on heavy protein prey. Crawdads, bluegills, and other indigenous bait fish are on high alert this time of year hoping not to be next for lunch. You can often see the smaller males cruising the shallows looking for their prime mating location in the hopes for landing a large female for the spawn season. The larger female bass will often hang just outside in deeper depths waiting for the right time and partner to begin their ritual.

 

Now is the time to un-winterize your boat and hit the lake. With a warmer than average winter, these bass will more than likely be ahead of schedule. Don’t let it pass you up, your double digit bass is closer than you think!
