BEST Spring Bass Technique Nobody's Fishing
The Best spring bass technique nobody’s fishing is one of the most overlooked ways to catch suspended bass feeding on shad in March and early spring. Spring bass fishing can be tricky when fish are roaming open water, suspended over ditches, points, and creek channels, and most anglers are fishing under them without even realizing it. Instead of relying only on forward facing sonar, this approach shows you how to target spring bass feeding on shad using a heavier spy bait profile like the Duo Realis Alpha to stay in the strike zone longer. Whether you’re fishing from the bank, kayak, or boat, this method works in clear water, around bait balls, over deeper points, and in the first third of creeks where bass are staging and feeding. We break down how to count your bait down properly, control depth without LiveScope, and trigger suspended bass with a subtle slow roll and pause that gets bites when other moving baits fail. If you’ve struggled with suspended bass in early spring or want to unlock a deeper open water bass fishing pattern, this technique will help you catch more bass consistently during the shad bite.

About this video:
In this video, we’re breaking down a highly effective spring bass fishing pattern that targets suspended bass feeding on shad in open water and along key structure like creek channels, ditches, humps, and secondary points. You’ll learn how to fish a heavier spy bait style lure to reach deeper water columns, how to control sink rate, how to count down your bait to match fish depth, and how to adjust your retrieve to trigger pressured largemouth and smallmouth bass. This technique works whether you’re fishing clear lakes, reservoirs, river systems, or highland waters, and it can be applied with or without forward facing sonar. We also cover rod, reel, and line setup, depth control strategies, and how to identify bait and bass using traditional sonar so you can consistently catch suspended spring bass throughout March and early pre-spawn conditions. If you’re serious about improving your bass fishing and learning how to catch bass that most anglers overlook, this is a pattern you need in your arsenal.
