Jocumsen views spring as the most rewarding time of year to target bass. With fish are various phases of the spawn — prespawn, spawn, and post-spawn — you get to head shallow with a mix of baits and fish how you like, with the best tactics often varying spot-to-spot and day-to-day. Shallow water makes bass spooky, so Jocumsen prefers approaching spots with the wind to his back. A controlled drift reduces trolling motor use while shallow water anchors contribute stealth and boat control.
He shares his top 5 tactics for the spring months, ranging from topwater poppers to hollow body frogs to subsurface moving baits, but focuses on his go-to flipping and pitching setup. In addition to his favorite lure, it's essential to choose the right-sized weight. Jocumsen explains how to make this critical decision and why going as light as possible improves success.
