You may also want to think about the bait that you are using. Certain baits will help you to achieve a greater measure of success in the early spring. For example, a spinnerbait will really enable you to attract the bass if it has a larger blade. This will vibrate more and thus disrupt the water in the manner that live prey would. This increases the bass awareness of the lure and will also improve your catch rate. A chartreuse spinnerbait will have the best possible effect because the colour appeals to all species of bass.

Torpedoes and buzzbaits also work well because they disturb the topwater sufficiently to attract attention. The bass are incredibly sensitive to the vibrations and will bite if they are active enough. Buzzbaits are great for winter and spring fishing so they suit the weather conditions of this time of year perfectly.
