Date: 2022-04-06

April is one of the best months for bass fishing. During the month of April you can find bass in all 3 stages of the spawn. Reaction baits are still king; however, as the fish move shallower & closer to "The Spawn" slowing down with soft plastics can be key to having an amazing day out on the water.
