Week 2 Bank Fishing Pre-Spawn Bass – Northbrook & Vernon Hills 2026 #fishingtips

Welcome to Week 2 of the Chicagoland Pre-Spawn Bass 2026 series! On this solo outing, I explore early pre-spawn patterns in Northbrook and Vernon Hills, IL. After starting at Lake Charles Park with no bites, I moved to a private pond and landed two largemouth bass — 2.5 lb and 1.4 lb.

In this video, you’ll learn:
– How to locate bass during early spring pre-spawn
– The value of moving spots to find bites
– Simple bank fishing techniques for ponds

Locations: Northbrook & Vernon Hills, IL

Tip: Don’t miss Week 3 for post-storm bite patterns in multiple ponds!
