Bass fishing report for this week:
Listen up Bass Heads - The bass fishing forecast message for all anglers is clear!
Today, bass fishing conditions are EPIC and GOOD across most of the nation thanks to rapidly warming water. But a strong cross-country storming is bringing snow, rain, high winds, hail, tornados and dropping temperatures to most of the nation east of the Mississippi beginning this weekend.
If you can squeeze in some bass fishing pre-front, you should have a GOOD or even EPIC day on the water catching active pre-spawn and even spawning bass in southern states. Post-Front, the fish may move out and/or hunker down for a while. So, sneak out of work early Friday…Heck, take the whole day off and make up your work when the fish are hunkering down post front.
To track when the bass bite is going to be GOOD or EPIC again post front, look at your 10-day Bass Forecast Ratings inside the Bass Forecast PRO app.
Don’t have Bass Forecast PRO? WHAT?.... C’mon now, if you read this far, we know you are a real bass angler. Since PRO only costs $2.50 per month, the only reason you don’t have it is that you are hunkered down! And, if you are going to buy anything at all for this bass season – soft plastics, hard baits, rods, reels, line, sunglasses, sun shirts, shorts…We will give you a $20 Tackle Warehouse gift card…which brings your actual real cost down to 83 cents per month…WHAAAT?

The seasonal pattern message for all anglers is clear!
With rapidly changing weather, this is not the week to rely 100% on dock talk or how your buddies slayed them last week…or even yesterday. What worked then may not work tomorrow because fish location and behavior changes with the weather. Look at the Bass Forecast Top 5 baits, lake locations and presentations for EVERY day in the upcoming 10 days because they will often change from day to day.

The Zumverno 115SP MR is a top pre-spawn lure, designed with Shimano’s BOOST CONCEPT technologies to attract bass before spawning. As water warms and bass move to shallower areas, it mimics erratic baitfish movements, ideal for pre-spawn bass. JET BOOST technology extends casting range, helping anglers cover water efficiently and find active fish. The bill design creates unpredictable darting action, provoking strikes, while the nose-down posture improves sonar targeting of suspended fish.
FLASH BOOST emits a flash on pause, mimicking wounded baitfish, and SCALE BOOST provides a realistic appearance to fool pressured fish. Perfect for targeting bass along deep points or in shallows, the Zumverno 115SP MR helps anglers capitalize on pre-spawn conditions. Shimano also offers the smaller Zumverno 95SP and versatile World Minnow 115SP for pre-spawn bass fishing.

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 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
Cross-Country storms will bring very high winds…. Up to 70 MPH. So, if you are on a boat taking advantage of the pre-front feeding frenzy, be sure to use the AccuWeather data in the app to track exactly when you need to high tail it back to the dock. Yeah, catching a bunch of bass makes it hard to leave, but is your life worth it?

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!
