Where Do Bass Go In Early Spring? ( Tips For Beginner And Advanced Anglers )

Spring is coming and bass are beginning to move! Listen closely as Tim explains how the bass transition on different types of lakes and when you should expect it to begin on your local fishery. We'll show you what the bass will do next, so you can get ahead of them and experience awesome fishing as we transition into the prespawn!

We all understand that bass are focused on feeding before the spawn. But how do you apply that to your fishing? Where should your first stop be the next time you hit the water? Obviously it's not going to be the same on a giant reservoir, a small pond, or a lake. In today's video Tim separates the different kinds of fisheries and explains what to expect in each one so you have the best shot at success.

Once you understand why the fish are moving and where they are heading you can predict their movements through changing conditions. Below is a breakdown Tim's best confidence baits for Spring bass fishing including his favorite colors and sizes for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fishing After Spring Storms + GIANT Bonus Fish!!

Come along for an awesome day on the water! Tim is fishing after a big Spring storm and its really shaken things up. COLD Muddy water is running down all the creeks and the fish are adapting to the changing conditions. Watch as Tim breaks down the lake and starts catching nice fish quickly. 

Tim got into some really nice largemouth but the Striper stole the show!! You've got to love a GIANT bonus fish! You never know what you're going to catch so it pays to be prepared.
