I am signed up for a local tournament series.  Last week was the first night.  It was tough fishing.  This week presents a new challenge(which is why we love to bass fish right?).  The weather has been a little crazy, but warm enough that the bass at the local ponds are forming beds.  This is not a big lake, but there is a good chance this could be the case.  The lake has a lot of weeds that have been growing the past couple weeks.  I anticipate them being pretty thick this week.  I am planning on having a jig tied on.  What else should I look to throw if I want to targer those bass still in the prespawn stage?  I am still pretty new to the sport.  Any help would be awesome!  Thanks everyone.

Not knowing the contours or bottom composition other than weedy areas, I would start with a frog or a fluke/senko type stick bait through the weeds.

As it gets laler try a spinnerbait/chatterbait, and a sq bill along edge or in sparse grass areas.

A swim bait across submerged grass dropping in open holes can be deadly.

Dont forget to try some soft plastics and of course jigs.

Thanks for the advice. It was a tough day. Only half the teams weighed in fish.
