Bass fishing report for this week:

Every bass angler loves a new moon. And, it’s coming this Sunday. But weather is also a major factor. Depending on where you'll be fishing, any one of 5 different seasonal patterns may be in play from “Winter” through “Summer.” You can see how the ratings and seasonal patterns will unfold across the nation for the next 5 days on the Bass Forecast Ratings and Bass Season Maps.

Pro Tip: Because the seasonal patterns are shifting often and fast this time of year, be sure to use the “Bass Season” toggle, inside the Bass Forecast App, to view not only the primary seasonal pattern detected, but also the seasons before and after. This will help you build a plan B and C to fall back on if you find yourself not catching. 

If you want to see how the following weekend looks, use Bass Forecast PRO. If you don’t already subscribe, we just announced what we believe is the best deal in the fishing industry to subscribe….which you will see below.

Stop guessing and fish smarter—With Bass Forecast Pro you can see 10 days ahead and always be ready for the best bite!

In 1910, Carl Grundén watched fishermen brave the North Sea’s wrath from the docks of Grundsund, Sweden. Storms tore through flimsy gear, so Carl, a fisherman’s son, crafted oilskins tough enough for icy waves. By the 1930s, Grundens was a trusted name in ports worldwide, outfitting crews hauling cod through gales. For over a century, they’ve perfected gear to keep commercial fishermen dry and focused.

Now, that legacy hits your bass boat. It’s spring, and you’re casting into lily pads under a rising sun. The Tough Sun Hoodie brings UPF 50 protection, a hood for shade, and thumb holes for coverage. Breathable and odor-resistant, it’s backed by a Lifetime Warranty—Grundens’ quiet promise of gear that lasts, from open seas to tranquil lakes.

Northwest: Weekend warming trend should find big female bass moving up into pre-spawn locations. Feeding will be sporadic. Use your Bass Forecast mobile app to find as many look-a-like spots on your lake as you can find. Stick and move because spots will reload throughout the day. If you are fishing a small body of water, be patient and hit the pre-spawn location spots several times throughout the day.  Especially during peak feeding time windows, which you will see in your Bass Forecast mobile app.  

Southwest: Fairly stable seasonal temperatures should find the bass in any one of 3 patterns depending on the lake you fish from Spawn, to Pre-Spawn to Summer. So, use the “Bass Season” toggle, inside the Bass Forecast app to view not only the primary seasonal pattern detected, but also the seasons before and after to make sure you have plans B and C to fall back on if the A pattern is not producing. 

Midwest:  Cooling weather may find the bass moving out slightly deeper than you may normally find them.  Pay close attention to both the Winter and Pre-Spawn recommendations in your Bass Forecast mobile app so you're prepared to try both patterns until you get on em. 

Southeast: A slight warming trend should find the bass more active than normal.  But, depending on the body of water you will be fishing, any one of these 3 patterns may be the juice on the day: Spawn, Post Spawn and possibly even a Summer pattern. So, use you Bass Forecast mobile app to understand and gear up for all 3 before you leave for the water to improve your odds. 

Northeast:  This weekend is a great time to take advantage of the tail end of a warming trend to find big female bass moving up into pre-spawn locations. Feeding will be sporadic. Use your Bass Forecast mobile app to find as many look-a-like spots on your lake as you can find. Fish and move because spots will reload throughout the day. If you are fishing a small body of water, be patient and hit the pre-spawn location spots several times throughout the day. Especially during peak feeding time windows, which you will see in your Bass Forecast mobile app.

To see exactly when bass will be turned on in your area, open your Bass Forecast mobile app and get PRO.

Bass Vision: Super Sight Below the Surface!

Bass need far less light to see than us mere mortals. To estimate the maximum depth at which bass can rely on vision to hunt, drop a white bait (jig or worm) into the water until it disappears, then multiply that depth by:

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!

Stay ahead of the seasonal shifts, and make the most of these prime bass fishing days. Don't forget to check the Bass Forecast app for all the latest insights to keep your trips productive.

Here’s to reeling in some big ones!
