Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Spring (Pre-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	48-58	Pre-spawn largemouth bass are transitioning between winter and spawning areas, actively feeding but remaining cautious near deeper water access Fish are becoming more active with warming trends but maintaining proximity to deep water escape routes, especially during cold fronts	Points with developing weed growth in 6-12 feet of water adjacent to spawning bays Steep breaks with access to deeper water Protected coves with early vegetation growth	Hard Jerkbaits worked with long pauses on points and breaks Soft Jerkbaits worked slowly along emerging weed edges Lipless Crankbaits retrieved near developing vegetation	Bluegill holding in and around emerging weed growth Small baitfish congregating near points and breaks	Natural Baitfish Colors Dark Neutrals Purple Colors
Spring (Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	58-68	Fish are transitioning from pre-spawn staging areas to spawning flats, with males preparing nests in protected areas while females stage nearby in slightly deeper water Feeding activity increases during stable weather patterns, with fish becoming more aggressive as water temperatures rise	Protected shallow bays with emerging vegetation in 2-4 feet of water Secondary points adjacent to spawning bays in 6-8 feet Vegetation edges near deeper water access in 4-6 feet	Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) around emerging vegetation and potential spawning areas Soft Jerkbaits worked slowly along transition areas Spinnerbaits parallel to vegetation edges and points during wind	Bluegill beginning to move shallow and become more active Various baitfish species utilizing emerging vegetation	Vibrant Craw Colors Natural Baitfish Colors Dark Neutrals
Spring (Post-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	62-72	Post-spawn bass are actively recovering and feeding, transitioning from shallow spawning areas to early summer patterns along weed edges Fish are showing increased activity during morning and evening hours, moving between deeper sanctuary areas and feeding zones	Emerging weed edges in 6-12 feet of water, especially near points Secondary points with access to both shallow and deeper water Protected coves with developing vegetation	Spinnerbaits worked along weed edges and points Texas Rigs (Worming) through scattered vegetation Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') parallel to developing weed lines	Bluegill in and around vegetation Young of year baitfish beginning to emerge Crawfish active in warmer shallows	Natural Baitfish Colors Vibrant Craw Colors Chartreuse Colors

Summer Fishing Patterns

Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Summer	Largemouth Bass	68-82	During summer, largemouth bass establish primary feeding areas around dense vegetation edges and points, particularly during early morning and evening hours Fish retreat to slightly deeper vegetation edges during bright midday periods, suspending near the outer weed edge Feeding activity increases during cloudy conditions and around wind-blown areas where baitfish are concentrated	Thick weed edges in 6-8 feet of water, especially where they intersect with points Wind-blown vegetation edges where turbidity increases prey vulnerability Deeper weed edges in 8-12 feet for midday holding areas	Texas Rigs (Pitch/Flip) worked through and around vegetation edges Frogs/Toads over matted vegetation during low light periods Spinnerbaits along weed edges, especially in wind-blown areas Swim Jigs parallel to weed edges during active feeding periods	Bluegill concentrated around vegetation Young-of-year baitfish utilizing weed edges for cover Juvenile perch relating to deeper weed edges	Vibrant Craw Colors Bold Striped Patterns Dark Neutrals
