In the spring, the bass begin pushing to the shallows. How deep that is depends entirely on the body of water. In a deeper highland reservoir, they might winter in 40 to 50 feet, so in the spring, a push shallow might bring them to 15 or 20 feet to feed. In a lowland reservoir doesn’t offer as much depth, on the other hand, they might winter in 20 to 25 feet and push up into 10 or 5 feet of water in the spring to feed. The key is finding areas near the deep wintering holes where the bass will initially push up as the water warms. Main lake points and secondary points are common first stops as they push shallower and shallower leading to the spawn in the backs of coves and on the sides of shallow banks.
