SPRING LOCATION
The season is usually broken down into three
sub-seasons: pre-spawn, spawn, and post-
spawn. Pre-spawn and post-spawn are when
the fish are hanging out between eight and
15 feet while during the spawn they'll be
lying on the beds closer to the surface.

Bass usually slow down in the winter and
their metabolisms are almost nonexistent.
Because of this, they are usually not
interested in chasing schools of fish, or
really chasing a meal at all.
