It’s not so much about location as it is water temperature. On a sunny day the shallow water with a dark bottom on the north side of a lake is the first place to warm up. Sometimes in early spring bass can be found is surprisingly shallow water like that. But if it is cloudy and has been chilly and windy or a front has been moving through they will probably staged at a drop off near these areas. Either location, the key to spring fishing is a slow presentation that will try your patience, then a little slower yet. Good luck.
First off, i live in the south, no where near Michigan. But, if you wouldn’t mind, I’ll share a couple pointers, tips & tricks of bass fishing in early-late spring.
To answer your question, bass are everywhere. Shallow, med, or deep water you will find them. Some may be patrolling the shallows. Some may be looking for shad at med depth, and so forth. It’s just so wide-spread when someone mentions that habitats and depth of bass.
I would use finesse techniques for this time of the year. Wacky rigging senkos, or drop shotting 4″ worms. Both of those would work great. Try natural brown, red, and purple colors to imitate local forage. Maybe even try a small soft-plastic swimbait like a Sassy Shad by Mister Twister, the maker of the original curly tailed grub.
Fish the spot up and down. Try shallows, deep water, and everything in between. If you’re really out for some bass, you need to fish the spot quickly, and often if you really want that big one. Maybe even switching baits a lot, hey if it isn’t working don’t force it upon you to make it work. If you don’t feel comfortable fishing it, there’s no one making you.
Great answer Charles I agree 100%
