Pro Tips

Staging Fish

Find the Path to Spawning Grounds

Pre-Spawn

Jim Davis Bass Fishing
Delta Pre-Spawn
Bass are predictable creatures. When the days start getting longer and the sun has more time to warm up the water the fish begin to get into that breeding preparation mode. This is considered pre-spawn. Adding to the pre-spawn modes are the moons. As we begin to move towards the full moon the fish move up even further and continue to prepare for the spawn. During this pre-spawn time the fish feed actively which makes for some of the best fishing of the year. An added bonus of this time of year is that the fish are usually full of eggs which adds to their over all weight.

Find the Path

Since we know the fish are going to be pushing up to shallow water for spawning, targeting these fish becomes relatively easy. Find the areas where the fish are going to spawn, then work your way to deeper water. Moving first to secondary points and then to main lake points and finally arriving at the deeper water. This is the path the fish are going to move along towards their breeding grounds.
