- Wired2fish contributor Dan Quinn loves targeting springtime bass with spinnerbaits. He delivers a range of tips on finding bass in lakes during warming trends, what types of cover to target, his go-to spinnerbait and rod setup, and how to fish spinnerbaits to generate more bites.

Here are Quinn's top 5 tips for spring spinnerbait fishing success:
1. Seek out calm, protected waters away from main lake basins. Refer to a lake map to locate shallow bays, pockets, and creek arms protected from the wind and cooler main lake water. These areas warm faster and are a magnet for baitfish and predator fish during the spring.
2. Start by target casting to all available cover. Your job is to determine what type(s) of habitat bass are using. Are they hanging on woody cover (e.g., stumps and laydowns), grass, docks, or rock? A spinnerbait excels at covering water and fishing relatively snag-free through cover. Keep covering water until you get that first bite.
3. Make a note of where each bite comes from. Are bass relating to laydown trees directly adjacent to the bank? Perhaps they're sitting where laydowns meet the grassline or drop-off. Whatever the case, pay attention, and you're bound to establish a pattern that'll lead to more fish at the end of the day.
4. Make repetitive casts to prime cover. After figuring some stuff out, make repeated casts to good-looking cover at different depths and casting angles. You'll be surprised by how many bass you catch on subsequent casts.
5. Use blade configurations that provide lift. Quinn favors tandem bladed spinnerbaits in Colorado and willow leaf configurations. Big, thin blades give off a ton of flash and vibration and the lift necessary for snaking the lure through cover such as tree branches.
6. Add a trailer for extra attraction. A little bling can increase bites. Quinn adds bulk, profile, and flash with a plastic trailer. Experiment until you gain some confidence.
7. Don't retrieve too fast. Resist the temptation to reel too quickly in cold water. Quinn uses a moderate speed reel, and a deliberate medium retrieve speed to govern himself.
8. Put some action into the bait with your rod. Put some fish-triggering action to your spinnerbait by pumping the rod and changing your retrieve angle. Random pulses and direction changes turn following bass into biters.

That white/chart skirt w a main willowleaf blade and a smaller Colorado blade gold/silver is imo the best all around bait ever.
Agreed ! And I believe in adding a trailer hook as well !
Always happy to eat my cereal and watch your fishing videos in the morning! Before my fishing adventures got out yesterday! And caught some decent wild trout in the middle of the city! And got my driving learner’s permit!
No fishing Mother’s Day weekend right now though😢
Great tips! Thank you for sharing. We'll start sending your channel to our clients who recently bought land from us near the lakes. They'll surely learn a lot from you 😊
Great presentation. Here in Az, our nighttime low is warmer than your daytime high.
Spawn done and fish back in deep water till Next March.
Thank you for the informative video , you are right when they hit the spinnerbaits it’s real fun . Every time I catch one with a spinnerbait I ask myself “ why do I ever put them down “ 😂.
Thanks for watching! Great minds think alike, we never gave up on spinnerbait greatness 👍. Good luck fishing this spring.
Good stuff Dan! 👀 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for the tips my friend!
Thanks that was kool man👍🏼👏.. i caught one bass last friday after work on a spinnerbait too 😊👍🏼
Big Bass in Fresno Cali!
@@mmatalk3817 Yes sir that's a big 10 4 👏👍🏼
@@fresnobassn744 I grew up in Mendota and there are some huge bass on the "backroads" from Mendota to Bakersfield, Mendota to Los Banos. It's not all about NorCal Or SoCal fishing. As a kid I would ride my bike two miles behind the Bio Mass plant and smash big bass, catfish, and monster striper!
@@mmatalk3817 Man u know them canals my friend!👍🏼. I fish from bass Avenue to Dos Palos the helm canal 👍🏼.. Man we need to hook up my boy!👍🏼
Love it
Appreciate it! Thanks for tuning in.
Did you guys get that underwater footage the same day/location you filmed this video? Cause that water color and clarity is unreal. I can never tell what it looks like under the water
Hi Richard, no, the underwater footage was filmed after the fact to support the content and add some "eye candy" to the edit. Always fun seeing what baits look like, especially when interacting with structure and cover. We do our best to film underwaters during our shoot days, so the habitat and water clarity is a perfect match.
I need to run these on the bottom, anyone have techniques for making sure it’s right down there, a foot or so above the bottom?
Smaller double willow blades with a heavy headed spinner bait. No trailer or not a very big one so it doesn’t float it.
Slow retrieve, no trailer, rod tip down, go for half oz over a 3/8th.
The others covered it well. This particular spinnerbait (in the description) also comes in a 1/2-ounce model, then when coupled with the smaller willow leafs, will help you fish it deeper. Good luck!
Why start at the north end of the lake? How is the northern side of the lake different? Never heard this tip before....
It gets the most sun exposure through the day which means it will have the warmest water.
Prevailing wind also matters. This was filmed in the upper midwest, where our predominant wind is north westerly. The north sides of lakes are often more protected from wind, whereas the south ends are windier and pile up with colder water from the main lake basin. This, coupled with more sun intensity, often leads to water temps a couple to several degrees warmer.
