These fish are just starting to move up to spawn in late spring. You really want to target them with football jigs and jerkbaits. They go crazy over those. Try to work them really slow because more than likely, the water is still very cold this time of year. The fishing is probably still a little difficult because of that winter bite, but around sometimes late March to mid-April. It really all depends on how warm or cold it is that year. Just work the bait slow and try to use some finesse tactics and you'll get hit!

Around this point, the bass have moved off of the shallow spots to more about 5-7 feet of water, so they are still pretty shallow. They are pretty spooked though. Many times if you throw a bigger presentation, it will scare them off. This is when the ned rig comes in clutch. I would probably recommend Zman green pumpkin, but honestly, any type of ned rig gets the job done. Like during the spawn, the Googan Scout still comes in clutch. They still like those injured fish presentations. Swimbaits might spook the fish, but jerk baits still seem to be hot at this point.
