When to Fish Largemouth Bass
Spring Spawn (March - May)
The spring spawn is the most productive time of year for largemouth bass. As water temperatures reach 60-70 degrees, bass move shallow into coves and flats to spawn. Keith targets these fish with soft plastics, jigs, and topwater baits around shallow cover.
Best months: Late March through early May
Summer Deep Structure (June - August)
When summer heat pushes water temps into the 80s, largemouth bass retreat to deeper structure and shady bluffs. Keith uses drop shot rigs, deep diving crankbaits, and Carolina rigs to reach fish holding in 15-25 feet of water.
Early morning trips recommended
Fall Shad Migration (September - November)
Fall brings one of the most exciting times to fish Table Rock Lake. As shad migrate into the backs of creeks, largemouth bass follow in feeding frenzies. Keith positions anglers where bass corral baitfish against bluff walls and creek channel banks.
Topwater action at its best
Winter Patterns (December - February)
Winter fishing requires patience and finesse. Largemouth bass slow down significantly but can still be caught on jigs and suspending jerkbaits fished slowly around deep structure. Some of the biggest bass of the year are caught in cold water.
