Schools out, it's warm outside, and the bass are in Post Spawn so that's three reasons to head to the lake. You can find bass either guarding the nest, protecting fry, or out in deeper water recuperating from the spawn. Most bass (depending where you are in North America) are in different areas. Female bass who just spawned are in deeper water eating Shad, herring, and sunfish. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
