Bass Fishing Tips: March bass fishing is obvious water and heavy pressure: everybody’s in the backs of pockets and spawning creeks, and the fish have seen the same baits all day. This episode breaks down my Top 5 March bass fishing baits (Texas/southern spawn timing) and—more importantly—the one key retrieve for each so you can turn “around fish” into reaction bites in crowded, pressured spring water.

We cover a squarebill crankbait bite that can produce your biggest fish early, a bladed jig worked like a jig and slow-rolled near bottom for territorial spawners, the swim jig finesse play for shallow grass, a swimming worm that lets you keep power-fishing while everyone else dead-sticks, and a Texas rig for picking apart the exact cover fish spawn on. Then we finish with the fallback when nothing else works: a slow, patient wacky/weightless approach that still gets bit in peak pressure.

Bass Fishing Tips: Swim jig fishing for bass is are one of the most reliable ways to get bit, especially around grass and shallow cover. But if your swim jig doesn’t run true / track straight, you’ll get fewer bites—and if the hook setup is wrong, you’ll miss or lose fish that crush it.

In this episode, Tom Monsoor (swim jig pioneer and one of the most respected swim jig minds in the sport) breaks down the two biggest “quiet killers” that make swim jigs inconsistent:

• Why a swim jig doesn’t run perfectly true (and what makes it list/lean or “hunt”)

• How the hook choice and hook details can cost bites and cost fish at the boat

• The build and setup details that separate a swim jig that “kind of works” from one that’s dialed

• How to think about swim jig balance so it tracks clean and stays effective in real cover

Part 2 (next episode) goes deep on the system: the only 3 colors, 3 trailer styles, and 2 retrieves you need—plus the rules for choosing the right one fast.

Bass fishing tips: Most spring bass advice obsesses over lures, colors, and retrieves. That stuff matters—but it’s not the main thing. The best spring bite usually comes down to WHERE bass concentrate and WHEN conditions line up to push a huge portion of the population into a small, fishable area.

In this episode, I break down three spring “loaded water” situations I hunt on any lake from late winter through the spawn: marina crash pockets, flooded fall drought weeds, and the “hot tub” pinch-point pocket that warms faster than the rest of the lake. You’ll learn what each one is, why it gathers bass, and the timing cues that tell you when it’s about to be an epic day—warming trends, rising water, moon phases, and those afternoon windows that flip the switch.
