Thrift's Spring Bass Fishing Tips! BEST Colors for Clear & Dirty Water

Are you choosing the wrong crankbait colors? Is your crawfish crankbait spooking Spring bass? Are you fishing around boat ramps and other hard structure? Bass fishing tournament champion Bryan Thrift will help you address and assess these and other burning questions.

This bass fishing video discusses effective crankbait techniques for pre-spawn bass fishing, emphasizing the importance of finding hard structure and color selection. Bass tend to congregate around hard structures like docks, bridge pilings, and rock piles because these areas retain heat, which is crucial for pre-spawn bass.

MLF Pro Bryan Thrift stresses the importance of choosing the right crankbait color based on water clarity and weather conditions. On clear, sunny days in clear water, translucent crawfish-colored crankbaits are more effective because they don’t spook the fish as easily as bright red, opaque crankbaits. This educational how-to video also touches on boat ramp fishing, differentiating between public and private boat ramps and noting that public ramps experience higher fishing pressure.
