Postspawn?

Featured Replies

What is your "go to" postspawn technic? Most of the lakes I'll be fishing are either entering or are in postspawn conditions. Please include type of bait if you say topwater. Thanks!!!

Zoom Trick worm fished wacky style in Watermelon/Red hands down or a brown jig with a green/pumpkin Zoom trailer.

I usually target the deeper weed flats outside spawning areas.

Plastics or jigs work but last year I had pretty good luck slowly swimming a 4.5" Shadalicious swimbait through the weeds.

    For me it has got to be a baby bass color 1/2 oz. Rebel Popper in the morning fished around rip rap.  As gets later in the day, I will switch to a 5/8 oz. Lucky Craft deep diving crankbait in a blue top and pearl bottom type of color (can't think of the actual name right now).  I will also fish that around rip rap.

I'm not the best at it but I love to Carolina-Rig this time of year. I will throw a 6" watermelon lizard on a 1/8oz c-rig on 6-8' flats with some form of light grass on it. I fish in very quickly. Second choice would be lipless cranks.

I have found that there is no terrible post spawn technique.  

The fish are hungry and you can catch them on just about anything as long as you are fishing the right places.  I am a Texas Rig guy through and through so this is what I use most of the time.  If the wind is blowing hard I will switch to a Carolina Rig or a Crankbait.

Senko

Jig

Deep Crank

In that order as the day progresses.

I have caught some nice bass using a Zoom trickworm or lizard on a shakey head rig. But as Big Tom said, their hungry, as long as your in the right place, you shouldn't have any problem catching them.  ;)

Ditto. Unless it's an artifact of where I fish, I just havn't seen any 'recuperation period'. Females come out of the spawn HUNGRY.

What is notable is that larger bass, mostly these are the females, seem to require a slower presentation. I catch more large fish on bulky jigs and worms than I do cranks. It just isn't time to 'rip the weeds' yet it seems. I've had to re-learn this each year it seems LOL.

If I chose two lures for post spawn females they would be a skirted jig and a ribbontail worm, swum. These almost always account for most of my larger fish on a given day. Later, and not much later, more speed will do it. Then I'm into cranks, lipped and lipless, a lot.
