- One of the questions I get asked most often is when the bass are going to be shallow in the spring. But it's actually a very simple process to find out. One you realize what the bass are looking for and when, you'll always be able to tell when the bass will be shallow on your fisheries! #fishing #bassfishing #fishingtips

What are some of things you look for to see when the bass will be heading shallow on your fishery?
Totally agree. Since I have been paying attention to it more, the amount of daylight seems to be the biggest factor and then day-to-day water temps. But the first week of May on my lake, they are in full spawn mode year after year but they will start pulling shallow way, way before that. Great topic!
The spawn here will be in full swing here by late February and is usually completely done just after mid-March. For a couple weeks beforehand, we get a great prespawn which is always a lot of fun!
Awesome video!!!! The best information I've seen about Why Bass will be in the shallows!!! I think in the first screen there may have been some food source hanging around. Second one temp dropped a little & send everyone to their comfort zone. Thanks again!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!! 🤠👍
Those are great guesses! The first one is just noise and the second is bass and bait suspended over brush piles. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the knowledge, Lowbrow. I'm going out tomorrow morning and I'm going to be checking some shallower areas in a different part of the lake that I usually fish. Plus, we just had an extremely large amount of rain over the last day and a half so the water all looks like chocolate milk with a whole bunch of flotsam and jetsam all over the place. Gonna be interesting to see how much the water warms up during the next couple of days that are forecast to be sunny. I've been using your suggestion with the drop shot setup. Two bobber stops and a shaky head or a ned rig as the weight. It works way better than I would have ever guessed. Thanks again for that. 👍🇺🇸
Muddy water heats up a lot faster in the sun, so that should drive the bass more shallow!
It feels like I'm always waiting for the bass to be shallow. That's how it goes for us bank fishermen.
It kinda makes it hard to catch them if you can't get a cast to them.
The echo on the top that shows the same colors as what's on the bottom is interference... The second picture is a couple of nice fish on the bottom and some bait. Also looks like you got to the end of a drop off and the bottom is kind of flattened out... a natural travel route, or it could have been a brush pile or some hydrilla clumped up... Also I am a bank fisherman in central Pennsylvania... So as soon as the ice comes off I just go shallow, northwest/or northeast banks with a dark bottom draws them from the get-go, the shallower the better, especially on sunny calmer days. Great show as always lowbrow keep them coming bro😊.
That's a great observation, and you're mostly right. The first pic is just noise interference and the second is bass and bait suspending over some brush and vegetation.
You make some great points! I can't wait for it to get warmer do the ice melts and I can get back out to the lake.
Spring is just around the corner!
As a Tampa area guy. We have fish on beds. Saw about a 6 pounder today. Eat your heart out boys up north 😂
In South Florida, the bass are always on bed, lol!
As a fellow bass angler from the Mighty Razorback, I want you to know that we all are jealous as hell of you this time of year. The bass here are still in their "anywhere and everywhere" winter phase. Plus, we just had about 3ft of water dumped on us over the last two days so now it's all chocolate milk. 👍🇺🇸
I think water temps play some part but that isn't everything. It looks like a big bait cloud in the first Pic and bass on the bottom in the second.
Agreed that water temps are only part of the puzzle!
I use one of those castable sonars on the end of my fishing line rigged up on a baitcaster using 30lb line and a heavy rod. The images it churns out aren't too much different from the images you displayed in this video.
I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but to me the first image looked like a school of baitfish. I ruled out any kind of vegetation because that ball of whatever it was, was suspended above the bottom of the lake.
The three or four arches displayed in your second image hovering near the bottom of the lake looked like fish to me. On my castable sonar I can set it to display fish as the same kind of arches that yours appears to be displaying or I can set it to display actual animated images or fish profiles that correspond with the actual size of the fish. It won't tell me what kind of fish I'm seeing; it just confirms that what I'm seeing is fish of some kind.
Those sonar units that you can rig up and use from the bank are great tools to have. The first image I showed was just noise (I had gunned the gas and turned the boat around) with some brush on the bottom. The second was bass and bait hovering above brush piles. That first one was a bit tricky, but you can see the differences if you look.
I'm not good at reading a fish finder screen since I fish from the bank and never use them. But I'd say the first picture looks like the water is swirling and the second has fish on the bottom. But I'm just guessing.
Those are great guesses. You're a lot closer than you think!
I got an easy way to find shallow bass. If I catch them from my dock then the bass are shallow. Works every time.
I can see why that's an effective method!
I used to think water temp was the big reason why bass moved up shallow in the spring. But after seeing shallow bass be active in 35 degree water and bass refusing to move up shallow in 55 degree temps, I threw all that out the window.
Water temps can be so flaky; it's hard to rely just on that alone.
Your dog sound like he’s got a 150 prop drinking that water
That's water falling from a tin roof onto a wooden deck after a heavy rain that you're hearing. No dogs were drinking during the making of this video.
When you're on your porch or deck there is a very loud background noise that makes it very difficult to listen to you. The sound resembles a dog lapping up water. I'm sure it is not that though. Please eliminate the sound so I can understand you.
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I cannot interpret the images at all. But answering questions with more questions, is not going to inspire more confidence. And your video, as well your graph demo were just click bait.
Thanks for watching!
