Spring Time Bedding Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Spring Time Bedding Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "When water temperatures move up in the range of 58 to 62 degrees, bass have only one thing on their minds –to spawn.  In order to time this right and find the mother load of bass, there are several variables to consider:
   One mentioned above is water temperature.  When the water begins hitting these levels, it’s time to start looking for bass beds in coves and spawning flats.  Another variable correlating with temperature is the current stage of the moon.  I recommend fishing on a full or new moon, timing this accordingly with water temperatures.  "

The Split Shot Rig | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

The Split Shot Rig | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The split shot rig is a finesse version of a fish finding rig along the lines of the Carolina rig. Too many anglers dismiss this method as being too slow or a small fish method. The truth is that it is a deadly finesse method that can cover water as efficiently and as quickly as the Carolina rig. The split shot method also is a great way to catch limits of keeper sized bass. What tournament angler could dispute the success of that?"
