FirstnameLastname Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 What's the consensus on prespawn lures. Like in anyother conditions I have ever encountered inline spinners in a slow retrieve works. Big long worms Texas rigged too Quote
Super User FishTank Posted April 22, 2015 Super User Posted April 22, 2015 I always have good luck with Mepps inline spinnerbaits and creature looking baits. I also have done well on crank baits this year, go figure. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted April 22, 2015 Super User Posted April 22, 2015 I've had a lot of luck on spinnerbaits, small swim baits, lipless crankbaits, and square bills as well. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted April 22, 2015 Super User Posted April 22, 2015 Most of the prespawn fishing I do is for smallmouth and the number one bait prespawn lake smallies prefer is suspending jerkbaits by a very wide margin. Lots of baits will catch them, but I catch twice as many with a pointer as all the other baits combined. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted April 22, 2015 Super User Posted April 22, 2015 It could honestly be anything . Large spinnerbaits one day , small spinnerbaits the next day , crankbaits the day after that .... Quote
Nolan Hunter Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I love using square bills, jigs, weightless trick worm/senko, Texas Rig... These seem to be my main producers in the prespawn. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted April 22, 2015 Super User Posted April 22, 2015 Besides often being the first time of the season that I get out on the water, part of what makes Pre-spawn fishing fun is that the bass are often fairly cooperative. This doesn't mean completely predictable however. As mentioned here already, the effective baits / presentations can be all over the place from one day or week to the next. Generally speaking, I'm having decent success when & if I'm able to get bit on some kind of Horizontal presentation. Doesn't really matter what it is; could be a lipless, squarebill or mid-depth crankbait; could be a chatter or spinner bait as well. This doesn't mean that when the Vertical bite is on that it's any less productive. Quite on the contrary. Days when the tube, or jig & craw or even the drops shot bite is hot, the action can be fast and furious - in a cool spring time day fishing kind of way. Chasing the fish around the lake seems to be the biggest challenge both spring & fall for me. A-Jay 1 Quote
*Hank Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Jerkbaits,Tubes,& Weightless wacky senkos are my top 3. Quote
BaitMonkey1984 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Weightless senkos rigged wacky style, the Ned Rig, small grubs fished on the bottom, and once it gets closer to the spawn crawfish colored crank baits. Quote
