GENERAL YEARLY CONDITIONS:
JANUARY - MARCH |
|
 |
Fishing Conditions: This time of year the grass is laying on the bottom dormant waiting for warmer water temperatures. Not only is the grass waiting for warmer temps so are the bass. Bass can be found staging in pockets and creeks. I suggest targeting break lines and humps to find fish. Recommended Tackle : |
MARCH - APRIL |
|
 |
Fishing Conditions: The water is warming up and the bass are getting active. This is when the spawn begins and bass can be seen in very shallow water. Baits work best when fished in approx. 1-4 ft of water. Recommended Tackle: |
APRIL - MAY |
|
 |
Fishing Conditions: Bass can be found and caught in just about every condition. There will be bass in pre-spawn, spawn, and post-spawn which means fish will be in all water depths. Bass can be caught on many other types of lures fished in a variety of ways. Recommended Tackle: |
JUNE - AUGUST |
|
 |
Fishing Conditions: This is the time bass are post-spawn and move out deeper to recuperate from spawning. Topwater baits are excellent choices overtop of the fast-growing grass. Fish are also caught on deep diving crankbaits on deep humps and ledges. But, the most exciting pattern is flipping the big 1 once jig into the heavy milfoil and hydrilla. Recommended Tackle: |
SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER |
|
 |
General Fishing Conditions: This is when the temperatures begin to cool back down and it gets the bass moving back to shallower water. This time is the absolute best time to catch bass on a Frog or Rat on top of the grass mats. This pattern is not for the weak at heart, because the bites are explosive! You can haul in both largemouth and smallmouth. Recommended Tackle:
|
NOVEMBER - DECEMBER |
|
 |
General Fishing Conditions: The grass is dying off and leaving just the steams this time of year. With the grass mats reseeding the fish tend to scatter but can be caught on spinnerbaits, buzz baits, and crankbaits fished through the stringy grass. Recommended Tackle:
