Spring Fishing Patterns on Juggler Lake

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Spring (Pre-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	48-62	Pre-spawn bass are staging near spawning flats, moving up from winter depths and becoming more active with warming water Fish are beginning to feed more aggressively to build energy reserves for spawning, particularly during warmer afternoon periods	Protected coves with gradual slopes near reed edges that will warm first Secondary points leading into spawning bays Transitional areas between deeper winter holdouts and shallow spawning flats	Lipless Crankbaits worked through emerging vegetation Bladed Jigs around reed edges and sparse vegetation Soft Jerkbaits worked slowly in clear water areas	Small pike and perch moving shallow Emerging crawfish becoming active in warming water Baitfish schools transitioning to shallower flats	Natural Craw Colors Green Colors Natural Baitfish Colors
Spring (Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	55-65	Largemouth bass moving into shallow spawning areas, particularly around reed edges and protected coves with gradual slopes Males actively guarding nests while females stage in slightly deeper water near spawning flats Fish becoming increasingly aggressive and territorial as water temperatures rise	Protected reed edges in 2-4 feet of water with firm bottom Shallow coves with emergent vegetation Secondary points adjacent to spawning flats	Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) around visible cover and bedding areas Soft Jerkbaits worked slowly near spawning areas Wacky Rigs for sight fishing bedding bass	Bluegill and small panfish Young of year perch Crawfish emerging from winter dormancy	Natural Craw Colors Green Colors Light Neutral Colors
Spring (Post-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	62-72	Actively feeding while recovering from spawn, establishing summer patterns around shallow to mid-depth vegetation and structure Most active during early morning and evening hours, moving between shallow cover and slightly deeper transitions	Reed edges and emergent vegetation in 2-5 foot depths Cabbage weed edges in 6-9 foot depths Points and irregular shoreline features adjacent to deeper water	Soft Jerkbaits worked erratically around vegetation edges Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) targeting reed edges and visible cover Spinnerbaits parallel to weed edges during low light periods	Young of year panfish in shallow vegetation Crawfish active in warming shallows Small pike minnows around weed edges	Natural Craw Colors Green Colors Natural Shad Colors

Summer Fishing Patterns

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Summer	Largemouth Bass	72-82	Actively feeding in and around vegetation edges, particularly in early morning and evening hours Seeking thermal refuge in deeper weed edges during peak daytime temperatures Utilizing cabbage beds and reed edges as primary ambush points for feeding on abundant forage	Reed edges where vegetation meets slightly deeper water Thick cabbage beds in 5-9 foot depth range Protected coves with mixed vegetation	Texas Rigs (Worming) worked slowly through vegetation Frogs/Toads worked over thick vegetation mats Swim Jigs through gaps in vegetation	Young-of-year panfish in weed beds Small pike Crayfish in vegetation	Natural Craw Colors Green Colors Natural Baitfish Colors

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Fall	Largemouth Bass	52-68	Actively feeding in preparation for winter, following schools of baitfish and targeting high-protein forage in mid-depth areas Moving between shallow weed edges and deeper adjacent structure as water temperatures cool Becoming more concentrated around prime structure as vegetation begins to die off	Weed edges near drop-offs, especially around remaining cabbage beds Secondary points with access to both shallow and deep water Reed edges adjacent to deeper water	Spinnerbaits parallel to weed edges and through remaining vegetation Lipless Crankbaits worked through dying vegetation Soft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium) to match fleeing baitfish	Young-of-year baitfish schools Crawfish in remaining vegetation Small pike (as indicated in lake profile)	Natural Shad Colors Natural Craw Colors Green Colors
