Tips on Spring time bass fishing (Water movment and Temperature)

Tips on spring fishing
Lets talk about spring time bass fishing. Specifically water movement that will help you locate and catch more bass in the spring.

Im talking about lakes that have a fair amount of very shallow water.
With a couple sunny days this shallow water can super heat. This water can quickly reach the low to mid 60 degree range .
Now that is the time I pay attention to the wind direction. This wind can blow this super heated water into places the bass will be attracted to like bays, pockets and ditches.
The wind tends to move the warmest part of the water column, the surface.

So when I go fishing, I fish the area that has been down wind of this shallow flat. The area the warm water has accumulated does not need to be very big to hold good numbers of bass.

I look for brush on the edge of the bays, pockets and ditches. This is a very big key for spring time fishing on my home lake.

This will work on lakes with some shallow water not just acres and acres of foot deep water. If you do not have lots of shallow water look for protected water that will warm and the wind will not move that warm water away. Just be aware the bass may be sitting in cover near the surface of the water because that is the warmest water in the lake.

@GAROmx

Go fishing at first light!!!!! The bass feed alot at first light. Other times they are just hold up. They will hit a lure when they are under a log or in the pads but its a good thing to be at the lake when the bass are looking to feed!. Dress in browns and greens and do not make a bunch of noise.
