Season	Species	Water Temp	Behavioral Patterns	Key Locations	Best Techniques	Forage Types	Bait Colors
Spring (Pre-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	48-60	Bass are transitioning from winter depths to pre-spawn staging areas, becoming increasingly active as water temperatures rise Fish are beginning to feed more aggressively to prepare for spawning, particularly during warming trends	Secondary points and steep drop-offs adjacent to spawning flats Emerging weed growth in 8-12 foot transitions Protected shallow bays with early vegetation growth	Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') worked parallel to transition areas Lipless Crankbaits around emerging vegetation Jerkbaits worked slowly over points and drops	Bluegills beginning to move shallow Minnows concentrated near emerging weed growth	Natural Shad Colors Green Colors Natural Craw Colors
Spring (Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	55-65	Bass are in pre-spawn to spawning phases, actively moving between staging areas and shallow spawning flats Fish are aggressive and territorial, responding well to moving baits as shown by recent crankbait success	Shallow flats with submerged vegetation near spawning areas Transition areas between shallow and deep water Protected coves and bays with developing weed growth	Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') worked parallel to vegetation edges Soft Jerkbaits worked with erratic retrieves Wacky Rigs worked slowly around spawning areas	Bluegills in shallow spawning areas Minnows around developing weed growth	Natural Shad Colors Green Colors
Spring (Post-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	57-65	Post-spawn largemouth bass are recovering from spawning and beginning to actively feed, primarily relating to emerging weed growth and transition areas between spawning flats and summer haunts Fish are establishing predictable daily movement patterns, often feeding heavily in early morning and evening hours near weed edges and points	Weed edges and points in 12-15 feet adjacent to spawning flats Submerged vegetation patches in 8-12 feet of water Steep drop-offs near shallow bays where bass transition between depths	Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') worked parallel to weed edges Texas Rigs (Worming) through scattered vegetation Wacky Rigs for pressured fish in clearer water	Bluegills beginning to spawn in shallower areas Minnows relating to emerging weed growth Juvenile crawfish active in warmer shallows	Natural Craw Colors Green Colors Natural Baitfish Colors
