Most of my bass fishing trips many years ago ended the same way. After an early morning burst of energy trying to find some big bass, I would get frustrated and turn to crappies and bluegills. I’d catch plenty of panfish, but never a bragging-size largemouth or smallmouth. My problem was a common one. I never fished with a plan.
The spring season can be the best time to fish for bass, but don’t think you can just go out and flog the water and catch a big largemouth. It will take a bit more planning.
