Best Seasons for Fishing

Each season brings unique opportunities. Here’s when to target different bass behaviors:

• Spring: Focus on shallow areas as bass prepare to spawn.
• Summer: Look for bass in deeper waters where they seek cooler temps.
• Fall: Target migrating bass, especially near baitfish schools.
• Winter: Use slow-moving lures in deeper waters for winter bass.

Key Fishing Techniques

Here are a few strategies to boost your chances of landing the big one:

• Grass Fishing: Work lures through submerged vegetation.
