The combination of South winds pushing water temperatures up a few degrees, bass stalling on routes during high winds and cold fronts and the vertical stacking factor during these periods of unstable weather during the first stage of Spring, all must be combined with reading activity levels during specific daily bite windows. Recognizing all these elements on the water and determining quick changes during specific barometric pressure change will keep you focused on choosing the exact presenations for each scenario.
Dissecting the 3 stages of Spring in increments with a combination of zoning exact locations of bass throughout the water column will keep you on track for Trophy Bass on any waters you target. Start in main lake basins on filter routes to secondary staging areas.
Taking into account each weather element encountered, positioning of bass, activity level, bite window time frames and proper presentaiton for each group of bass located throughout specific zones will all aid in taking early season giants on a consistent basis.
