what presentation do you guys use in cold water for largemouths like in like in march,april,may,and fall and when do you use for post spawn. thank you for any help you provide.

A large black and blue jig with pork trailor. Fish in deeper water.

Use smaller lures, slower presentation, deeper water.

Early March-Husky jerk.
then slow, and fish first drop off from spawning beds& flats with jigs and worms .

Good fishing

jig n pig or smithwick suspending rogue.

unlike most people, as soon as the ice is gone i am fishing shallow water. im sure there are fish deep and probably more of them but i have plenty of luck fishing shallow.

example- last year feb 21st, 1st day of open water I caught a 14lb 5 bass limit in less than 3ft of water in 1.5hrs.
this year Jan 3rd, first day of open water I caught one pushing 6lbs and several shorts all in less than 3 ft of water in less than 1hr.

Starting about mid march when the ice is out, i'd probably be out throwing tubes. real subtle presentation. Motor oil, junebug, black with red/blue flake are usually the top producers. suspending hard jerkbaits, or flukes would work too. i know when the water temp hits 55 we start throwing cranks too. they'll hit one. i would rather throw tubes though, maybe a senko or kinami worm. we caught 13 bass in 2 hours of fishing on april 17th last year. all were over a pound, the biggest was a 19" 4 lbr. 4 over 3 lbs. cranks and tubes. fishing 7-13 ft of water with gravel, rock, and riprap. one by a sewar treatment plant that discharges warmer water in the spring/winter and cooler water in the summer. another spot we had alot of luck in was a channel that led into a marina, and the sides were lined with gravel and there were a few submerged logs. we nailed the bass on a quick dropping point.

Damn I need to fish where these guys do. lol. I never have that kind of luck, or maybe I don't have that kind of skill. I will atleast try some of these tips though.
