Swim jig prespawn bass caught moving up. I was out fishing last week when I looked down at the water and saw this big bass cruising the shallows.
I quickly ducked down and pitched past her, giving my rod some subtle bumps, and it was game on. She is the biggest fish of the year so far. It really got the blood pumping.
Swim Jig Prespawn Bass
I was swimming a Strike King swim jig through the grass when I saw this fish up super shallowly. I quickly pitched back in and the jig did the job.
Actually, you can see for yourself.
I had left my scale in the car so I didn’t get a weight, but she was a good one for sure.
The cool thing about this bass is that I had my boat hooked up and decided to go to this lake and fish from the shore instead. Following my intuition sure paid off with this prespawn bass.
She almost acted like she was on a bed, but I don’t think that she was. It hasn’t been a long time since ice out and I think she was just pulled up and sunning.
Importance of Good Polarized Sunglasses for Bass Fishing
The funny thing is that I probably would have missed my biggest bass of the year if I hadn’t been wearing good polarized sunglasses. The water was still stained and there was a glare on the water.
My Wavy Label Sunglasses did the trick and allowed me to see this bass and crouch down before I spooked her.
Besides the eye protection that is why I am such an advocate of wearing good polarized sunglasses.
I also caught this bass that was sitting on a rock out in the middle of the weeds. I would have missed this fish too without good glasses.
Wrapping Up My Bass Fishing Trip for Prespawn Bass
This day could have turned out a lot different if I wasn’t fishing the versatile swim jig and worn good polarized lenses.
Here’s a list of the equipment I used:

I sure hope this helps you want to get out and hit the bank this spring. You never know when those big old prespawn bass will move up and decide to take a swipe at your swim jig. The awesome thing about a swim jig is that you can also cover water when you aren’t seeing the fish.
To your fishing success,
