Spring (Pre-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	54-64	Pre-spawn females are actively staging in shallow areas 2-5ft deep, with buck bass already shallow Fish are utilizing both shallow structure near banks and secondary offshore spots (10-12ft humps) for feeding	Points with laydowns and brush piles 2-5ft from bank Offshore humps in 10-12ft range Boulder areas in transition zones	Bladed Jigs around shallow cover Lipless Crankbaits on points Shakey Heads worked slowly around structure	Shad schools in pre-spawn movement patterns Crawfish becoming active in warmer shallows	Dark Neutrals Vibrant Craw Colors Natural Baitfish Colors
Spring (Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	60-69	Bass actively moving to spawning areas with water temperatures between 60-69°F, staging on adjacent structure and making frequent moves to shallow bedding areas Feeding activity increases during pre-spawn staging, with fish targeting both bluegill and shad in transition areas	Stumps and laydowns in shallow water, particularly those near spawning flats Rock piles in 2-5 foot depths, especially those adjacent to deeper water Submerged wood cover within 10-15 feet of shoreline	Bladed Jigs worked around shallow cover Wacky Rigs worked slowly near spawning areas Shakey Heads worked along bottom structure	Bluegill gathering in shallow spawning areas Shad moving into warmer shallow waters Crawfish becoming more active with warming water	Dark Neutrals Natural Baitfish Colors Vibrant Craw Colors
Spring (Post-Spawn)	Largemouth Bass	66-77	Bass are actively feeding in shallow water during morning and evening, with increased activity around cover and structure Fish are establishing post-spawn feeding patterns, showing aggressive responses to moving baits and topwater presentations During midday, bass are holding tight to cover in slightly deeper water, requiring more targeted presentations	Laydowns and flooded brush in 2-5 feet of water Rocky points in 6-8 feet of water Bank-adjacent cover and structure	Frogs/Toads worked over flooded brush and laydowns during morning hours Shallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6') burned around laydowns and stumps Shakey Heads worked slowly around rocky points Soft Jerkbaits (flukes) worked weightless near bank cover	Bluegill concentrating around shallow cover Crawfish active on rocky points and hard bottom areas	Natural Baitfish Colors Dark Neutrals Light Neutral Colors
