The prespawn is a great time for jerkbait bass fishing. Come along with me as I catch a few on the jerkbait.
Jerkbait Bass Fishing in the Prespawn
If you notice here I was fishing in the mouth of this pocket. This is a protected cove that bass were moving up to stage and spawn in.
There are a lot of underwater trees that are coming up to about 6-10 feet below the surface. This made my suspending jerkbait the perfect bait choice.
You can see in the video how I fished it a lot faster than I do in the winter. I was still more subtle than I fish it in the summer months. You really have to play with the jerks and pauses and let the bass tell you what they want.

Jerkbaits really are a fun way to catch bass. They not only mimic a dying baitfish, but the elicit a reaction strike, so that when other lures aren’t getting bit they can be the ticket.
Now go grab some jerkbaits and catch some bass this spring.
To your fishing success,
