What Do You Think Of These Seasonal Patterns

Featured Replies

Spring: Towards the end of spring (May) the bass will be spawning around the 70 degree water temperature. Try fishing visible bedding bass. When the spawn ends the bass will be suspended off deeper banks during the Post spawn period and can be found in water up to 10 feet deep and can be found in coves. Generally, around the beginning of May you can find bass in pre-spawn, post spawn, and spawning. Deeper stumps can also hold post spawn bass on this lake. When the water temperature hits 63, or is in that 64-66 degree range in late April the male bass will be on or making beds and the female bass will be staging to spawn. At the end of May when the water is between 65 and 66 degrees the bass will be done spawning and should be in the post spawn period. The bass will be pre-spawn when the water temperature is about 53 degrees and they will be staging in deeper water in about 6 to 10 feet of water. The 65 to 67 degree water temperature will be key for the bass to move up on the beds and spawn. There are several points that extend to deeper water and have submerged stumps that fill up quick with spawning fish in this lake. In the Spring you wont find a ton of grass if any, but you will find tons and tons of Lilly Pads. In Early April You can still catch some bass just a little deeper out off the spawning areas and off the breaks on a texas rigged / Carolina rigged green pumpkin lizard. In early April the water temperature will be from 47 degrees. Around the end of March you will find bass in deep water in their spawning areas

Summer: In the summer the bass will readily take top water lures, spinner baits, and you can always find bass up to 25 feet of water that has deep structure. In June the bass will be up to 6 feet off the bank. Light line techniques also work well in the month of June. In both early and late summer bass will be outside the weed lines. Fish will also gather at irregularities in the shoreline. The ledges in the lake that are in 10 to 20 feet of water will also hold good fish. The spinner bait bite is usually the strongest during the month of June. At dusk you can find groups of bass up shallow under over hanging trees and in shallow water. The hotter the water temperature is the deeper the bass will go on this lake. In the summer the bass will be holding on any available structure on this lake. When the water temperature gets up to between 86-89 degrees the bass will be going deep during the day and deeper structure will be key to catching bass. When the water is in the 82 to 86 degree range the bass should be in deep coves and should be hanging around any structure in those coves. You can catch bass on topwater lures In the middle of august in the morning and late evening. In june the grass beds will start forming, becoming very thick

Fall: Some bass will be in deeper water by structure, such as wood and you will need to slow down with your presentations. The grass will be dying off and you may be able to catch a few bass by skipping lures over the tops of the grass, such as a weed less spoon in grass that’s sitting in 4 to 12 feet of water. The grass will be growing all the way down to 15 to 18 feet of water. Weed lines in 4 to 10 feet of water can hold large populations of bass this time of year. When the water temperature drops and gets between 60 and 63 degrees the bass will be in that 4 to 12 foot range of water, but you can also find populations of bass in channels that are 20 feet deep. As the water cools in the fall the crankbait bite will become hotter and hotter
