Location Spring Patterns: before spawning is 50 to 59 degrees F. Spawn is 60-66 degrees F. After Spawn is 67-72 degrees F.
Pre-spawn largemouth after a typical seasonal pattern largemouth in most tanks. In the spring, the fish begin to move in the stream channels in the main tank of the channels and inlets and arms secondary stream. This movement occurs when water temperatures moving into the top 40 and bottom 50. Initially, the site will focus on the main mouths of the rivers, but the water temperature reaches the top of the bottom side channels 50 will rise to their spawning grounds. Before school on spawning are fish, and early pre-generate these schools will be packed. The early stages of the migration before spawning occurs 20-30 feet of water at the end of this period, the fish will be in the depths of 10-15 feet. As fish passage for the actual spawning, all schools follow the same migration pattern. A school can upload secondary channel until it reaches a wood theme. In this case, the fish can change the channel of the stream and follow the edge of the tree line to the spawning flats.
Another school may follow a stream channel to its intersection with the platform below. You can then go to the platform to the shallow waters. How low fish movements depends on the weather and water clarity. On a sunny day in hot school can go and begin to disperse apartments in 10-15 feet of water. But the passage of a drop in water temperature cold front could quickly lead to fish in side channels and 20 to 30 feet deep. Due to erratic weather conditions in spring water can frustrate anglers fish "here today and gone tomorrow." For much of the pre-spawning fish remain near the deck. This means that the presentation of bait should be "right on the money." With water temperatures in the 50s, low metabolic rate is slow and rarely chase a lure more than a few meters. The reason why many fishermen can not catch bass during this period is that they ignore the overall activity level of the fish and use the same recovery rate for most of the summer. Low-slow motion before spawning a combination of slow fall jig n pig or a spinnerbait blade is the best choice. And remember, during the pre-spawn, stick to water in the range of 10-30 feet. Many anglers make the mistake of fishing too shallow and miss the end of this period of joint action.
Spawn: As water temperatures move into the low 60s, lower schools begin to disperse and enter the shallow water. Men move in three to five feet of water and begin to build their nests, while women typically have about eight to ten feet until a man courts. Nesting takes place in a vase or mud / gravel bottom, and the nest is always placed against a particular type of coverage. Bass instinctively seek some kind of order to reduce the amount of land they have to defend marauders bluegill and crappie. If a bass can build their nest against a tree or in a newspaper, you can deal with the realization of these pesky predators and will not have to worry about attacks from behind. Although actual spawning may occur over a period of three to four weeks, peak spawning occurs when water temperature is about 64 degrees F, and if this temperature coincides with the full moon we can expect a "harvest "Baby low. During spawning, water clarity may vary slightly depending on whether it is dry or wet spring. Fishing tackle can vary between spinning and baitcasting, and line size can vary from six to twelve pound test, depending on water clarity.
Post-Spawn: After spawning rituals are completed, the bass is very difficult to catch three to six days. It seems they use this time to clean their systems and to recover from the rigors of the coupling. At this time moving lower in shallow water and hold again near the deck. But when the rest period is over, the atmosphere changes dramatically from a slumber of aggressive power. At this time the shape of the small schools serious eight to ten fish. You can expect to find these schools in eight to fifteen feet of water with long stitches, potholes, ditches leading to secondary channels and platforms key locations. location of the fish during the post-spawn is not easy, due to the serious small school are constantly moving and cover a lot of ground. It takes hard work to locate bass after start, but once you do, you are at the time of his life. During the post-spawn, lure selection is the largest in all seasons. Topwater baits and deep diving swimmer fish can both produce fish, depending on the location and lower mood. Topwater lures may seem an odd choice because most of the fish are not found in the lowlands, but feed so aggressively during the post-generate a noisy top surface actually "the call" the depths of 10-12 feet .
Location Summertime Patterns: summer is 73 to 85 degrees F.
Normally, the summer period is characterized by the movement of the fish in the arms of faith and return to the open sea. Some of the best spots are sunken islands, side channels of the river near the main stream channel, roadbeds and channel the mainstream. The place in which there is a combination of a good structure, for example, where a platform through a flow channel in the former, or an isolated island channel sunk keys mainstream. During the summer, fish location patterns are sometimes difficult to establish, and sometimes surprisingly simple. It is important to remember that throughout the summer, the bar will be school size and different schools have different migration patterns. It can be difficult to stay in the transport of fish, once locate, make as many pictures as possible. When the action slows down, try to determine what structure the fish migrate along and continue until you reconnect. DST bass can move quickly or slowly, depending on the coverage available. If the fish are following a free flow path old wooden fast moving. If, on the other hand, the river bed has a lot of wood and brush, fish persist as they move up the creek bed. It's hard to say how fish food moves into the behavior varies from school to school. But if a school has a summer home together, probably will not move more than a quarter mile from sunrise until noon. And in the cold water, the school can spend less than 100 meters in a day.
Deep bass summer depends on the water clarity, light penetration and temperature of water. In early summer, fish are often found in 15-20 feet of water. But even if the temperature is above 75 degrees F, largemouth will not move as deep as his cousin the spotted bar. It is rare to find largemouth bass in 30 feet of water. Time of day is an important factor in the location under summer. Early morning and late at night to find the shallow waters of the lower conical points in and around surface vegetation as Coontail, foam, carpet and varies motion herbs. Topwater plugs are a good choice for fishing shallow water. Sunken islands are also a good choice for fishing in the early morning and late at night and you can work effectively with a plastic worm or jig n pig. An access point is the classical conical morning shallow dish old platform below. When the sun is high in the sky, the bass will be right on the platform until it crosses a stream channel. Then the fish roam the gorge, stopping at about the 20 foot level. Transportation routes are the least of the concerns of low. A variety of lures work during the summer, but the plastic worm is definitely the best option. Other good choices for summer vibrant lures and crankbaits.
Cold Water Patterns Location: Fall temperatures have dropped 85-55 degrees F. winter 54-40 degrees F.
Both periods of cold autumn and winter slowly melt itself without drastic changes in fish behavior. While the water temperature begins to drop, the severe form of the schools that are much bigger and stronger than summer school. If a high school in the summer season can contain 30 or 40 fish, a school of low drop in late May are more than 200. A severe summer course tends to expand horizontally and grouped freely. However, a school is full of cold water fish vertical stacking 12 to 15 deep-sea fish. Therefore, a large school of bass in the fall will take up less space than a small group of summer. Another model of behavior that differs from cold water in the summer is that the fish stay close to the deck. All these factors combine to make the location of the fish during the most difficult periods of cold water than in any other time of year. Often, in the late fall, you can spend three or four hours different structure patiently until finally gets his first fish. But once the first fish is a limit that can be taken on consecutive pitches. Of course, under strict schools do not develop overnight. In late summer and early fall nights cause slight mist net in the water, the lower is referred to the classic structure, simply start a slow migration to deeper waters. They begin to find ways deep foundations, Timberlines deep, deep channels and streams.
General preferences, however, is of the channels. When the water temperature reaches 50 degrees F., it is rare to find largemouth bass in 30-40 feet of water. The best location in the fall is where two currents in a wooded points. Another place in the Fall Classic is the place where a stream is folded upon itself forming a "saddle" (strong U-shaped). The main difficulty in the cold underwater fishing is that it requires patience and a methodical approach. This means that a fishing slowly and carefully before placing the area. The best approach is to select an area that is seen as having a concentration of fish and then work slowly. Vertical jigging is a popular technique and autumn winter. With reluctant to move more than a foot of breathing attract fish, it's a good idea to let the jig fall slowly, bouncing in place for a few minutes, then four or five feet and repeat the process. A decoy must be presented in front of the nose of a double bass. When fishing in the forest, from tree to tree, making sure to catch all sides of each tree. Relax and be resigned to not cover a lot of ground. There is simply no way to fish deep water and fast. The bass is definitely catchable, but finding them can be time consuming. Although most of the movement down into deeper water when the water is in the bottom 50 and the mid-40s, there are days when the fish will be two or three feet below the surface. They, however, be in shallow bays, but suspended in the top of the timber below. A hot sunny day in December or January can pull fish to the surface like a magnet. This is a vertical migration, however, and the low will fall quickly back into deep waters when weather conditions change.
The key to cold water fishing largemouth is locating steep drop offs or timber near deep water channels. Once you find a school of fish in cold water, will remain in the same neighborhood, most of the winter. Migration is possible that minor, but the fish will not move great distances often during the summer. If you know and the region holds the fish, just work more slowly. If you are "fish", it's just a matter of doing the correct and this means that the selection of a few proven methods of cold water. The standard repertoire of cold water lures include tailspins, twinspins, jig n pig and jigging spoons. A decoy who often works in the beginning of the cold period, which is often overlooked, is the deep diving crankbait. The reason why many fishermen do not use a crankbait in cold water is that they are struggling to keep the attraction down and while moving slowly. Autumn is a time when it is essential to use plastic bodied crankbaits or sinking. Balsa lures work well in the summer, when the bass are aggressive and can chase a lure for some distance, but when the water is cold, the low pass more slowly and is impossible to maintain a deep balsa lure unless you add an advantage or two. If you try to catch a fish pond swimmer without extra weight, just bounce off the surface. The use of a good neutral buoyancy or sinking crankbait that can fold down to the proper depth, then crawled slowly through the bottom. Observations by divers skin showed that the cold water is almost always lower illusion as it is falling. When casting to places that you think is holding fish, boat position that the cast is made up from the depths of the shallow waters. Then, when you get your template or spoon it work downhill. This allows you to gently remove the lure to a ridge and stream channel where the bass often held during the fall and winter. In summer, simply reverse your position if you are casting shallow to deep.
Then you can work your lure and on the edge of the cove, where the bass tends to celebrate summer. Online course of two conditions is very important observation. At the slightest sign of movement in his line, the hook and quickly make a mental note of the depth at which the fish hit. If you get a strike is probably the lowest percentage out there waiting to fill your limit. It is difficult for most anglers believe that catch 40 or 50 bass in a school, but can occur in the fall and winter, as long as the water temperature stays above 41 degrees. and the water is muddy, cold water fishing can be exceptional. However, once the water temperature falls below 41 degrees F., or blurred cold winter rain, the water is finished. The combination of cold murky water is the death of bass fishing.
As they say, location is everything.
