THE INSIDER PREPPING FOR SPRING BASS SPRING FLING video by// Scott Martin It’s April, spring has sprung, the sun is shining and best of all… the bass are biting! February was about preparing; March was about perfecting; now April is gonna be about getting out on the water and practicing what I’ve been preaching! That hard water has softened up and those finicky bass are coming out of hiding. So in my first video we’re gonna find where those baitfish have been hiding in the cooler months. Next, we’re going to head off to my home water of Lake Okeechobee where I’ll show you how to pick the right weight for your soft plastic baits. Now that you’ve got the right type of weight, I am going to show you how to properly rig your soft plastics and the one part most people miss when Texas-rigging. Watch these videos, prepare, practice and perfect the art of landing lunkers! –Tight lines, PAGE 19 | BIG BASS MONTHLY Scott Martin
