  • Dissecting the Pre-Spawn Bass Bite

    Dissecting the Pre-Spawn Bass Bite

    A trifecta of tips from a Bassmaster Elite Pro Dr. Jason Halfen The Technological Angler The bass pre-spawn period is a time of anticipation and transition. Largemouth and spotted bass slide out of their deeper,n thermally-stable wintering holes and begin a systematic movement toward the warming shallows, where they will binge feed in preparation for the rigors of spawning. Along the way, tempestuous spring weather can cause bass to hit the pause button, or even find their reverse gear, delaying their progress or even causing bass to restart from scratch. Yes, we know where the bass will begin this springtime transition period, and we also know where it will end, but that in-between region, in which bass are hyper-sensitive and on the move – that’s what separates the contenders from the pretenders.

With a semi-arid climate and very few fishing restrictions, this area of the region is nearly 6,800 acres of bass abundant water that many anglers utilize for early ice-out fishing.
