Post Spawn Transition – Shakey Head Worms And Crankbaits!

This time of year is awesome! Let's catch some fish!! There are bass in all phases of the spawn but in most places, there are some post spawners already transitioning into Summer patterns. We're getting ahead of those fish and targeting them with worms and crankbaits. Let's go!!

Today is a relaxed day as we get ahead of the transition and catch bass that are shifting toward Summer patterns. We're catching them on offshore structure (rock piles and points) with a shaky head, dropshot, and texas rig. Color is key, and paying attention for those subtle bites can completely change the course of your day!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Top Baits For Post Spawn Bass Fishing (May and June)

What lures should you fish with right now? How do you catch bass after they spawn? We've got you covered! Last week we taught you how bass transition after the spawn as they shift toward their Summer haunts. Today we're taking an in–depth look out our confidence baits for this same time period. Whether you fish shallow or deep, these are the baits we trust. 

This time of year can be amazing because bass tend to congregate. When you locate them it can be fish after fish for hours! Understanding where the fish position is one piece of the puzzle, knowing which baits to fish confidently is the remaining piece. Today Tim is covering his favorite baits for post spawn bass fishing in a variety of different situations. From muddy water to clear, deep to shallow, these are the baits he uses throughout the coming months. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim discussed in the video. We've also included some of our favorite budget friendly combos for these techniques. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehousehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
