Largemouth Bass In the spring, focus on shallow cover, protected coves, and gravel beds. Soft plastics, spinnerbaits, bladed jigs, skirted jigs, shallow-running crankbaits, and jerk baits can be used to target pre-spawn and spawning bass. Use weedless frogs and topwater lures among shallow cover. In summer, use Texas rigged soft plastics, Carolina rigs, soft jerkbaits, and swimbaits in 5 to 15 feet of water in visible or submerged cover. Roadbeds, fence lines, pond dams, creek channels, and brush piles can be places where bass congregate.
