About this episode

This episode discusses how to locate and target bass during the spring-to-summer transition.

The spring-to-summer transition is one of the most exciting — and most confusing — times to be on the water. Bass are constantly shifting between pre-spawn, spawn, and post-spawn phases, and if you don't know what to look for, you'll spend more time searching than catching. In this episode, we break down exactly how to locate and target bass at every stage, from staging areas and spawning flats to post-spawn drop-offs and rocky structure. We cover how to read key transitional features like points, channels, and depth breaks, when to burn a reaction bait and when to slow down with finesse, and how grassy versus rocky lakes fish completely differently this time of year. Whether fish are shallow, suspended, or already pushing deeper, we'll show you how to stay one step ahead all day long.
