Spinning for Bass

#1 Post by SeanA101080 »

Hey,is it a bit too soon to start spinning for bass now? I was thinking of waiting til around March to start myself. Last year i waited til April and started catching bass straight away and fished up til the end of November,but for the last few weeks i caught nothing. So i was thinking of starting a bit earlier this year! Anybody spinning at the moment?

to soon should not be in the same sentence as bass fishing get out there now, bass can be caught all year on lures if the conditions are right best of luck :)

This weekend should be top notch after all the bad weather as rough tide will dig up all the buried food so the bass should be on the feed also looking at the charts and the conditions look spot on, id be surprised if you didn't have good bass fishing between today and tomorrow, good luck
The finest gift you can give a fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
