How Long Will "post-Spawn" Last And What Should I Do?

Featured Replies

I'm from PA, I'm very new to fishing on a boat and I'm pretty much overwhelmed on where to fish on my lake. Where should I be looking for posts-spawn bass? Should I be looking at the dropoffs/like transitions from shallow to deep water? The water was about 72 degrees yesterday. I feel like I was fishing the wrong spots (too shallow) and the bass that were biting were extremely weary and would not really take my lure (the few that tried...) Also my main question is, what temperature will the post-spawn be basically ending and transitioning into summer. I'm assuming during the summer pattern I should look for cover (mostly grass) in just about any depth and deepwater structure. 

Should already be in post spawn, water still cool look for structure and fish weed lines inside and out, early morning top water is a hit or late afternoon, also look for drop offs and deep runs like old river beds or creek changes that flow in or out try the mouth on the sides and also if the water is clear and pressured I would be willing to try a drop shot method or downsize and finesse fish, once the sun is shining bright or late in the day try flipping for docks and structure . Mark what depths you catch most of your fish and try that, if mostly dinks revert to shallow or deeper water. Slow down your presentations too once it gets later say 10 o clock on. My 2 cents.

By flipping structure I mean lay downs :) drag jigs in 12 feet plus water and roll cranks by it, I live in nys and the water is 70-71 degrees on my lake and I'm having good luck doing this.
