I know the biggest ones are caught early in the season. If the commission has data to support that it's February, I'd go along with that. Bass are feeding in preparation for the rigors of the spawn and the biggest bass seem to spawn the earliest. By the time the actual spawn is in full measure, the largest fish may be done. |
Look for areas adjacent to spawning grounds, which they'll be moving into. Look for vertical structure in the main lake with deep water nearby. You wouldn't fish shallow flats in February or March. |
