ROCKS DRAW BASS IN EARLY SPRING

            Rocks are the answer to locating the most active bass in lakes, reservoirs and rivers during the early spring. Whether it be a long riprap serving as a foundation or a jetty forming as a current break in a river system, these rocky structures are bass magnets. And for good reason.

     “Heat,” says four-time world-champion Rick Clunn. “Rocks retain heat from the sunlight. Riprap or any rock in the northwestern portions of a lake or reservoir will have about the warmest water available during this time of year. And the bass will seek out that warmer water and bunch up."
