As temperatures rise, bass fishing is heating up! Many lakes and rivers are running high, creating prime conditions for streamer fishing. The key to success? Watching water temps and slowing down your retrieve.
Bass become more active as water temperatures hit 48-58°F, but they’re still sluggish. Instead of chasing fast-moving prey, they’ll ambush an easy meal.
