Tips on Spring time bass fishing (Water movment and Temperature)

Tips on spring fishing Lets talk about spring time bass fishing. Specifically water movement that will help you locate and catch more bass in the spring. Im talking about lakes that have a fair amount of very shallow water. With a couple sunny days this shallow water can super heat. This water can quickly reach the low to mid 60 degree range . Now that is the time I pay attention to the wind direction. This wind can blow this super heated water into places the bass will be attracted to like bays, pockets and ditches. The wind tends to move the warmest part of the water column, the surface. So when I go fishing, I fish the area that has been down wind of this shallow flat. The area the warm water has accumulated does not need to be very big to hold good numbers of bass. I look for brush on the edge of the bays, pockets and ditches. This is a very big key for spring time fishing on my home lake. This will work on lakes with some shallow water not just acres and acres of foot deep water. If you do not have lots of shallow water look for protected water that will warm and the wind will not move that warm water away. Just be aware the bass may be sitting in cover near the surface of the water because that is the warmest water in the lake.

@Keeeeeeeeb Try a senko or a jig out a little deeper early and move shallow as the day warms up.

Im fishing in a tournment next friday and wondering what i should use. I have areas going from 2-14 feet deep. There are alot of logs hidden under the water near the shoreline as well as out more. Looks like I will be seeing alot of warm weather out in illinois coming off a cold winter. What would you think would be the best for me to use?
I always have a tuff time fishing in early spring. I fish a small shalow pond, but there are alot of bass there.. what should i be using at a shallow pond, fishing from shore?

do you have any tips on topwater lures like scum frogs on the weedbeds
i mean shirt
u have anice sweter
thanks man!
in the spring I fish bigger baits in the summer I fish small baits. As for colors for soft plastics I like white early and browns and greens mid-day. hard baits like crank baits I like fishing them fast in the summer so I like bright lures like chartruce. for the spring I like more natural colors like crawdad or perch colors.

do you have any tips on colors and sizes of baits?
your videos are really helpful!!!
im subscribing!
If the lake is down the weeds are not much of a factor. So I would fish a split shot rig (see my video on split shot).
you can cover vast amount of water and keep the bait in front of the bass all the time.
Thanks

live bait work for you thats great. I can out fish live bait. It is also a skill bait. Do not close out any productive way of fishing to catch more bass. When the bass are not hitting live worms well they may crush a crank bait. I have found this happen many times. So give more lures a try and you may be suprized.
Thanks!

why is it that my luck is horrible when i use any lure but when i use worms or live bait it is better?
i really want to know becouse i would rather use lures…thanks

black/blue senkos or jigs are good in the spring and so are jerkbaits. Good luck to everyone this Spring!
how about spinnerbaits?
