Early spring and late-prespawn can bring rapidly changing conditions, and in this video Kevin VanDam breaks down how he adapts to catch late prespawn bass in changing waters as cleaner water starts pushing into the system. Sometimes you have to slow it down and try some different baits, KVD takes you along with this #fishing thought process.

As water clarity improves and temperatures begin to rise, bass start transitioning toward prespawn staging areas, but they don’t always settle in one place. Kevin moves between several key areas to stay on the fish and shows how small adjustments in location and lure choice can make all the difference.

Throughout the day, Kevin mixes in jerkbait fishing and throws the Strike King Baby Z-Too Soft Jerkbait, demonstrating how subtle presentations can trigger bites from bass that are still sluggish in early spring conditions. He explains how water clarity, wind, and baitfish activity influence where prespawn bass position and why moving with the changing conditions can keep you on an active bite.
