Easy Guide to Pre-Spawn Bass Fishing | Best Spring Fishing Areas

Hey y’all! In this video, I give a brief explanation of how bass behave in the Pre-Spawn and how they progress from their Late Winter to their Spawning Patterns. I also show you some of my favorite bass fishing spots in the spring, so you can hopefully apply what I’m talking about to your home lake! This video took me a long time to put together, so let me know what you think of it in the comments!

Finally! A fishing channel that is actually about fishing rather than comparing cheap vs. expensive reels, rods, lures and whatever else. This is why I have scoured KZbin in search of fishing channels. Consider me subscribed!

[@outsidewithmike]

Dude! Awesome video! You put a lot of work into that. Great channel!

[@kevindoyle8232]

Best informative videos I have ever watched. I am from west Michigan, and have progressed similarly to you, in that, off shore deep fishing fascinates me! One thing I have heard, that you comment regularly, natural lakes are some what featureless, in comparison to reservoirs. I have found, when you buy a conour map book, on smaller natural lakes, often times they do not show all the fearures of the lake. I have found several offshore humps, high spots, and depressions that hold big, untouched winter/summer bass by simply graphing areas in that 20-30' range, that the contour map shows as flat. Its currently -4 degrees here at home, and though I have been ice fishing, thanks to your videos, I have alot to look forward to this upcoming open water season!!!!!

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

Keep up the Awesome informative vids!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!

[@kolczatr337]

Great job 👊

[@AFishBicycle]

Excellent content. Thanks.

[@thdarknez7171]

Great vid.

[@PhilosophyDaily]

Can’t wait for spawn vid!🔥

[@BryantJones33]

Great video! Thanks man!

[@rodfather_bass_fishing]

One of my primary lakes up here in the Pacific Northwest is a shallow, muddy, former-logging-pond type lake that rarely sees water temps below 35F. It gets a lot of pressure, but has some GIANT fish in it as well. Your description of shallow and muddy bodies of water are spot on in my opinion... mine has sage brush and lily pads though instead of cypress trees. I think shallow bodies of water are more unique than most because of the fact that the water temp can change so rapidly in certain conditions. Even though it's the only thing these fish have ever known, it does something to their behavior when those rapid temp changes take place. Great presentation by the way... big thumbs up!

[@barrysoileau2012]

Johnny, I have just discovered your videos. All I can say is EXCELLENT!! My favorite lake is Toledo Bend. I do plan to use some guidance from your videos on charts and sonar to see if I can locate some high potential areas. Have you produced any videos for this lake? I surely would love to see what areas you would consider spending time evaluating more thouroghly. Thanks a million!! Great stuff!!

[@jamesf2882]

I’m only halfway through the video but this is amazing!!!

[@timisoutdoors]

Anybody else catching up in 2020 during the Corona Virus Pandemic? Dude...this video KILLS it! Great job!

[@freebird5782]

Just found your channel. I knew what lake you were showing on the first map 😂 let me know if you ever need someone to fish with in LR. I also have some good creeks to fish if you wana catch fish till you pass out this summer. Keep it up dude 🤙🏼

[@TheBigt83074]

Love this video. Nice job bud

[@dp8904]

Great video!

[@RealisticFishing]

Great topic!

[@PhilosophyDaily]

Realistic Fishing agreed!!

[@knightcrawlerfishing6447]

Really enjoyed the video!

[@sirronbailey3109]

I greatly appreciate this this was a great help it really breaks it down thank you thank you thank you.

[@jbjgibbons]

Great breakdown dude. This kind of quality must take a lot of time and effort. Appreciate it. Unfortunately I can’t share this with a friend. I like kicking their a$$e$ when it comes to putting fish in the boat. I can’t empower them with this kind of information. 😂

[@paulbracher5538]

I truly wish there was a guy like you to explain Stripped bass fishing, you are so good at explaining its awesome, keep up the great work and great vids

[@gethoudinied3932]

follow the birds lol thats what everyone on texoma tells me

[@mobasser]

Awesome

[@octaviofuentes7781]

true so true thanks for sharing my man

[@KastKing]

Awesome Video! very cool!

[@tythelakeguy8680]

that was a great explanation! good joba

[@harrisonswift4776]

Wow thank you!

[@toneloc237]

Another great video

[@terribleatfishing]

awesome video! Thank You

[@andinbriwel1092]

Great video! I'm looking forward to the rest of them. Fwiw, here in AZ, some good bass lakes never fall below about 54 degrees in mid winter, so some areas may use a different temperature scale to determine pre-spawn/spawn/post-spawn?

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

Great video my friend.

[@blakelee3459]

Great video very informative

[@renshawfishing347]

I'd share with a friend, but i'll need to make one first.... Great stuff man.

[@Lear356045]

Your explications are excellent. 👍

[@travismorrison2567]

Great tips thank you

[@gagamisko5186]

Great video 👍

[@danreder8985]

Thanks so much for the videos, ive watched the ones on locating spring bass and sneaky spots and gotta say u put fish in my kayak when others were out there skunking it up! I started looking at my lake from the google earth and determined the spots and creek points and they are producing! Thanks so much for taking the time to do a more presentation style video, Vs a dude chillin on a boat catching bass telling u that its a good spot! You rock happy easter.... - Chi-townschwagz (fishbrain). If your ever in northern illinios and wanna rip some chatters hmu!

[@BassQuest]

Awesome video man

[@larryhenrichs7819]

Very thorough , well thought out and presented. A lot of high quality production for a “freebie” on-line video. Thanks for your effort. I live on lake Harris in FL. It can be a daunting lake to fish if you don’t find (or know to look for) those very subtle depth changes on the shell beds, grass flats etc. Thanks for your work. It’s really appreciated.

[@ForWildsSake]

You make some awesome video’s Young man! Not only are they put together with awesome video editing, but content is spot on. You should be very proud! I am curious what software you use to animate the fish movement. Regardless, great job!!!!

[@ericpigg2689]

Thanks for the vid. Subscribed! Fished Maumelle last Friday and got S-K-U-N-K-E-D!

[@karenhick7]

Wow! I learn so much from

[@lifewithkellyandpor]

Super informative!! Could you please do a lake break down for "Lake Don Pedro" here in California? I've been trying to study that lake but I'm having some trouble understanding how to read between the contour lines and what to look for. Thanks!!

[@tannerhadra803]

I’m in lake Norfork in Arkansas 😂good knowing someone on here fishes this beautiful state too

[@rolandoutdoors6716]

Nice video!

[@lawrencesmith2622]

not bad at all ...It shows the younger generation of upcoming bass fisherman using technology that fisherman years ago didn't have. We used maps experience and our wits. Great job is done here.

[@philhicks2167]

Thanks
