Spring is just around the corner, and you’re not going to want to miss out on bass fishing.
Here are some lures and tips I’ve personally used myself in order to catch them.
There are hundreds of different techniques, and lures such as jigs, soft plastics, cranks, top waters, live bait, and different types of rigs for soft plastics such as worms and craws
During spring, bass are one of the most aggressive fish to lurk freshwater ponds and lake. As the water begins to warm up they become less lethargic like they would be in cold water. The females begin to spawn, and both the females and males become much more aggressive in their territory in order to protect their spawn.
Here is a crank that I’ve caught at least more than 10 bass on:
Now for lures there are millions of options but for spring time, from personal experience, crank baits are one of the best lures for spring time.
The action in the water gives off the illusion of fish near the bass, making it almost irresistible. Use these around clearer waters, where there is not too much algae.
Next lure that the bass can’t resist during spring time, the spinner bait.
Spinnerbaits are great for spring because the little spoon on top reflects light and spins, attracting the bass towards it and making it pretty hard to resist. Work these around the afternoon or mornings when the sun is most visible in clear water.
Another great lure is the infamous whopper plopper.
The whopper plopper is a lure that floats on top of the water that needs to move in order to work. The fin on the back spins repeatedly on top of the water making a bubbly noise. Fish these around the late afternoon or early mornings near the shoreline.
And for the final lure, one of the most versatile lures you can fish all year round and still catch bass on it, the Jig. A jig is a hook with a weight on the front that’s covered in rubber strings and has a brush cover on top. To top it off you must put a soft plastic trailer on the hook, jigs have been notorious for decades and are the most versatile fishing lure for bass.
Bass will go for jigs all year round because of the ways you can work the jig on the ground in the water. Slow, fast, medium fast, extra slow, generally you want to work it slow on the ground tapping it up every few seconds. You can basically fish this lure anywhere.
There is still a huge variety of lures you can choose from, hundreds and thousands. but these were just some that worked especially well for me, so get out there and catch your next pb.
