Spring Smallmouth Bass Fishing Tactics

Top Water Fishing For Smallmouth Bass In The Spring

Top water lures are a nice choice for smallmouth bass in the spring. A few good choices
could range from lures like pencil poppers, prop baits, mouse baits, chug bugs, cricket
hoppers, grass hoppers, spooks, torpedo baits, etc.

Around this time of year, I especially enjoy using cigar style baits to walk-the-dog with.
My preferred color choices are lighter colors such as white shad or better yet, translucent
varieties.
Here is how I prefer to walk the dog for smallies in the spring. Use longer and deliberate
sweeping motions from side to side, more so than you would normally. And you should
vary your cadences too. But for the most part, keep your sweeps long, gentle and smooth.

Sub-Surface Fishing For Smallmouth Bass In The Spring
Another great way to locate smallies is by fishing with search baits, also known as pause
baits. Mid range crankbaits and especially jerkbaits are fun to play with. They are easy to
use and produce really well.

Once you've casted out, crank the handle a few times to get the lure down into the strike
zone. After you have allowed the jerkbait to pause, give it a quick little twitch, then pause
again.
The pause and twitch is crucial, especially in colder water. Vary the length of your pauses
and the way you twitch the bait until a bronzeback smacks your bait. This will help you
to determine about how long to allow the jerkbait to pause for.

Bottom Fishing For Smallmouth Bass In The Spring

Fishing the bottom for smallmouth bass in the spring is a tactic not to be overlooked. One
of the smallmouths most favorite snacks to feed on are crayfish. Also during the spring
time, gobies will slowly swim throughout the bottom of the water column, of course that
is in waters where they habitat such as in the Great Lakes.

Jigs and tubes are a perfect match for enticing bronzebacks to strike. The key is to fish
them slow. Drag them slowly along the bottom, and give them a twitch and a hop every
now and then. There almost really isn't such a thing as going too slow for this fishing
technique, especially when the water temperatures are cold.

More Tips On Smallmouth Bass Fishing In Spring
These spring smallmouth bass fishing techniques are proven to work and can produce
some nice quality big smallmouth bass. Try them out and see for yourself. Remember,
the colder the water, then the slower you may need to go. You might also like to try dead
stick fishing if the bite seems to be off. Good luck freshwater fishing!
