Fish earlier, deeper and go big. Magnum big.
“Everyone knows that prespawn bass head to the shallow flats and the lipless crankbait is a great way to catch them,” says Skeet Reese, 2007 Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year. “But why not intercept them before they move shallow?”
You can do that by searching deeper grass and upsizing your lipless crankbait. Reese turns to a Lucky Craft LVR D-15, a 1-ounce big daddy, twice the size of lipless lures that most anglers fish around grass.
“That does two things for me,” he explains. “First, it gives me a larger profile bait, something that the larger bass are keying on that time of year. Second, the weight of the lure allows me to fish deeper water.”
