How To Catch Bass In Spring! (Where They Go, Which Lures Work, Tricks To Get Bit)

Spring is the best time to catch big bass! Fish are moving shallow to feed and spawn and they're easy to catch. That is, if you know where to look and what lures to use. You can catch the biggest bass of your life RIGHT NOW and we're showing you how to do it!

Weather will impact how quickly they move and water temperature and clarity will impact what you fish with. Once you have the basics, its really easy! The key to success on any day is to keep moving!
