That depends on where you live. For anglers in Florida, spring fishing usually gets going in Mid-February, whereas anglers in the Northeast wait until April or May for good conditions. Ultimately, it comes down to water temperature, though. No matter where you live, you can expect spring bass fishing to get good when the water gets above 50 degrees. In the sweet spot between 50 and 60 degrees, the bass begin their push from the depths to main points and secondary points to begin staging for the eventual spawn when the temperatures rise above 60 degrees. When spring bass first push from the depths, they’re aggressive and ready to pounce on almost any bait cast in their general direction.
