This is a phenomenal bait during the transition because it can be presented in so many ways. Swim Jig Tailspinner Modifications – photo by Mike Ferman – Tackle Modz Here are some great options for this time of year both from a home modified and production stand point: One of my favorite ways to handle this is to not only pick some great alternatives to treble hooked presentations, but also add some flash and vibration to those baits to help them stand out from the pack of lures typically tossed and trigger strikes.

For those of us fishing ponds and from shore it also means dealing with growing grass or in some areas even a bit of surface matting has already begun to take hold, and these grasses can drastically limit the amount of treble hooked baits you can use. When this happens, the fish tend to move away from the shallows and begin to make their way to deep water for the summer.įinding fish at this time of year generally requires covering a lot of water quickly and fishing versatile baits that can be adapted to changing situations.

As waters begin to warm, late season rains tend to turn even the clearest lakes to some form of stained water. Late Spring is a time of transition in the everyday life of a bass.
