Prespawn bass

Post by jake_k » Wed Mar 24, 2010 4:53 pm

I was just wondering when bass fishing really gets good during the pre spwan season. I live near Lake Washington so any advice for that area would be best

Depends on the weather to increase the water temp, right now for Lake Washington you'll see them starting the prespawn migration, but it's not the full swing. The past several years it's typically in April sometimes mid April to early May. I would say this year it'll probably be in mid April.

Another thing about prespawn and spawn, the bigger lakes like Lake Washington will have fish spawn at different times. There'll be some early fish and then late fish.

Darker Colors For Sure:-$ . Green To Black:cheers: ! Fishing is better when the water temps are more stable. At a steady 62* Bass will start there spawn. [thumbup]
Start with green and end in black !!
NO DINKS ! She likes Big ones better!
