Targeting Spring Bass During Unstable Water Conditions (Storms, Flood, Dropping Water)
Come along for a fun day on the water as the guys target bass between storms. The lake is being lowered in preparation for another Spring storm and it has the bass on the move! These fish want to spawn but there's no opportunity with the water levels constantly fluctuating. Come along as Tim explains their movements and catches quality fish!
We love to power fish and cover water in Spring, but when we finally locate them it's time to slow down. Tim explains how he's using his Raptors (shallow water anchors) to creep along a shallow edge to catch more fish. Once the fish are located you can throw a variety of baits, as displayed by the guys catching them on both a glide bait and a dropshot from the same area. The key is locating an area where those fish can stabilize, regardless of which way the water is moving.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the day. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
