Pre-Spawn Bass Time!

For all you hard-core bass anglers this is the time of year we all wait for. The pre-spawn bite might not be in full effect yet, but it is right around the corner. Some of our local waters will be heading into pre-spawn mode after this next warming trend that has arrived this week. Now bass are moving up in the shallows after being in the deep and suspending for some time, they arent spawning but they are definately starting to think about it. This all points towards one thing, aggressive bass ready to eat an array of offerings, in other words "good times." With this being said I could go on for awhile about tactics and locations but I dont feel like typing forever. The best thing you could do is stop in the shop at Temecula or Solana and come talk bass fishing with us and we will do our best in helping you get started in the right direction. I will give you bass chasers a few things to think about. Focus on lakes with stained water and alot of habitat, these lakes tend to warm faster than clear lakes, in turn pushing fish up sooner than later. A few lakes to think about would be Hodges, Otay, Elsinore, Vail Lake. Baits to think about, catching fish on spinnerbaits is almost a can't miss in the spring, along with swimbaits worked slowly, and jerkbaits tend to generate some of the most exciting strikes from shallow fish. We have all been fishing jigs and worms all fall and winter, its time to break out the reaction baits and cover some water. When you find concentrations of fish stay on them, this is the one time of year you can stay posted on a location and have sucsess all day. Enough said, its time to get off your ass, spool the reel up with some fresh line, pick up some reaction baits and go fish already. I dont know about you but Im goin fishn, see you on the water. Fish On! DL
