Bass fishing report for this week:
Spring weather swings mean bass are on the move! A cold front rolling through the central U.S. will shake up feeding patterns, while stable conditions in the Northeast could mean consistent bites. Want to time your trip right? Here’s what you need to know to fish smarter over the next 10 days.
WHAT DOES THE 10-DAY FORECAST MEAN TO YOU AS A BASS ANGLER?
Spring roller-coaster weather means it’s time to use your BassForecast PRO mobile app to track the fronts and plan to be on the water BEFORE they hit. Why? Because catch rates are 3x to 10x higher pre-front than post-front.
With BassForecast PRO, you can even set mobile notifications for GOOD and EPIC days, giving you up to 10 days' notice—enough time to juggle your schedule and fish the feeding frenzy instead of missing out.
And if you miss that magic window? No worries. Check your 10-day BassForecast Ratings to see when the bite will turn on again post-front.
With Bass Forecast Pro you can see 10 days ahead and always be ready for the best bite!
🔹 Knowing 10 days ahead gives you a fighting chance to juggle your schedule around to fish the best days, not just the days you’re free
🔹 Adjust your tactics before you hit the water
🔹 Know exactly which baits to grab—before the good ones sell out

With a LIFETIME WARRANTY, this hoodie shields you from harsh rays, letting you cast freely and chase fish without distraction. Whether you’re flipping jigs or working topwater, Grundens' legacy of durability means this gear is made to last. It’s not just a hoodie—it’s a nod to a century of craftsmanship, retooled for the bass boat.

The seasonal pattern message for all anglers is clear!
Yep, as you can see on our super-groovy heat map, the spawn is creeping north! But when those big females hit the beds, they don’t stick around long—just 1 to 3 days before moving off.
So, if sight fishing is your game, check the Adapted Patterns in the BassForecast PRO app to see when your local waters are shifting from Pre-Spawn to Spawn. With a 10-day advance forecast, you can plan your trips wisely—because nothing stings worse than hearing, “Oh man, you should’ve been here a few days ago… we hammered ‘em shallow, but they’re gone now!”
Once females leave the beds, they don’t just disappear—they move to nearby cover and transition into post-spawn feeding patterns. BassForecast helps you adjust your approach so you’re not chasing ghosts in shallow water after they’ve moved off.

Bass Forecast High Wind Forecast:
Plan your next fishing trip with confidence! These High Wind maps are must-see tools for staying ahead of changing conditions and boosting your chances of landing more bass.
DANGER – PELIGRO – LE DANGER – GEFAHR – PERIGO - PERICOLO
Fishing pre-front conditions is the key to big bites—but safety comes first. Over the next 10 days, the U.S. will see varying wind conditions as multiple weather systems roll through. Some areas will experience strong gusts, especially during frontal passages.
If you’re on a boat chasing the pre-front bite, use the AccuWeather data in the app to track exactly when you need to head back to the dock.
Yeah, catching a bunch of bass makes it hard to leave, but is your life worth it? Know when to get off the water before it’s too late.

What is the next 10 days winning pattern?
Great bass anglers are constantly monitoring the weather and trying to figure out how it’s going to affect bass behavior so they can figure out a fish catching pattern. And even they make mistakes in judgement when the weather is rapidly changing because some weather variables affect the bite immediately and some days or weeks later.
Patterns change daily based on the weather…
So, get in the know with Bass Forecast Pro
BassForecast simplifies and speeds up the process. It's bass AI engine, engineered and refined over years of study, predicted the winning pattern of the 5 top flight bass tournaments in 2024 with 86% accuracy 10 days BEFORE each tournament began.
Bass Forecast Tip:
No matter the day you plan to go bass fishing be sure to check the Bass Forecast app to see all 5 baits adjusted for cover type (weed, wood, rock) with additional details of how to fish effectively for landing bigger bass — changing conditions could affect the ratings or bait recommendations!
Bass Forecast Tip:
Over 1.5 million+ Bass Forecast anglers have used these tips to boost catch rates during the cooler season.
1. DO NOT rely on “what worked yesterday”. It's not a solid strategy. The trickiest part of figuring out the bite in bass fishing is that patterns can change daily based on the weather, thus changing the feeding behavior of bass. Use the Bass Forecast app feature Adapted Patterns® to help adapt your strategy in real time. Bass Forecast Adapted Patterns® has predicted the winning pattern in 86% of top flight bass fishing tournaments 7 to 10 days before the tournament began.
2. Select best odds days up to 10 days in advance by getting Bass Forecast PRO inside the app. While there's no ‘guarantee’ of success on any single outing, double blind research has shown that season long average catch rates during GOOD/EPIC rated days are 68% to 305% higher than the average. Fisheries biologist research has also proven that bigger bass are caught during GOOD/EPIC days due to proactive vs reactive feeding behavior.
3. NO MATTER WHEN YOU GO, the BFR combined with the Seasonal Pattern (see map below) guides the 3 key elements of a successful bass catching pattern: 1. Baits to use. 2. Best bet fish feeding locations. 3. Best bet presentation speed.
Tight lines and happy fishing!
