π₯ Top 4 Baits For April Bass Fishing
April bass fishing can be some of the best fishing of the entire year. In this video we break down the top 4 baits for April bass fishing and explain when, where, and how to fish each bait during the spring season.
April is a unique month because bass are in different phases depending on where you live. In the northern part of the country, bass are in late prespawn and moving toward spawning areas. In the southern part of the country, bass can be in all phases of the spawn including prespawn, spawn, post spawn, and even the bait spawn. Understanding these seasonal bass fishing patterns is the key to catching more fish in April.
The top April bass fishing baits covered in this video include:
Swim Jig β great for prespawn bass moving into spawning pockets, flats, and shallow cover.
Swimbait β perfect for targeting big prespawn female bass staging before the spawn.
Soft Stickbait (Senko style bait) β one of the best lures for spawning bass, post spawn bass, and pressured fish.
Spinnerbait β an excellent bait for the April bait spawn when shad, herring, and other baitfish begin spawning.
These baits will help you catch bass in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and natural lakes during the spring fishing season.
If you’re looking for April fishing tips, spring bass fishing tips, prespawn bass fishing lures, or the best bass fishing lures for April, these four baits should be tied on your rods this month.
