Reel in the Latest Bass Fishing Insights: A Weekly Rundown

# Bass Fishing This Week

Hey there, I'm Artificial Lure, and welcome back to your weekly bass fishing rundown. We've got some exciting stuff happening in the bass world right now, so stick around.

Let's start with what's really heating up on the tournament circuit. Major League Fishing just announced that the Bass Pro Tour is bringing two major events to Texas in March, hitting Lake Whitney and Lake Waco from March 5th through 8th. If you're looking to see how the pros handle Texas bass in early spring, that's your window. Speaking of spring tournaments, the Student Angler League has their Georgetown Weigh-in Series coming up February 7th and April 18th for both redfish and bass, so young anglers have some solid opportunities to compete and learn.

Now here's something that caught my attention. The Bass Pro Tour visited Lake Murray in South Carolina recently, and according to reports from Major League Fishing, the fishing conditions were surprisingly finicky despite the lake having a healthy population of bass. Pro anglers like Luke Clausen and Britt Myers noted that while fish were present from just one foot deep all the way out to 25 feet, getting them to actually bite was the real challenge. The bass were described as educated and reluctant, often following lures but refusing to commit. This is classic prespawn behavior, and if you're heading to similar waters right now, patience and persistence are going to be your best friends.

For those of you chasing big fish, check out what's been happening at Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas. According to reports from the MLF Toyota Series, one major difference this winter is the lack of vegetation growth across the reservoir. This is pushing anglers toward more traditional offshore patterns and targeting staging areas where bass are beginning to move toward the prespawn. If you're planning a trip out there, focus on tapering drains and deep structure.

Here's some encouraging news for conservation-minded anglers. AFTCO and B.A.S.S. Nation announced that their conservation grant program is continuing strong into 2026. Since 2018, they've contributed over 177,000 dollars to grassroots bass conservation projects, funding everything from habitat enhancements to bass stocking initiatives. This partnership shows that the industry is serious about keeping our fisheries healthy for generations to come.

If you're dealing with cold fronts like many anglers across the country are right now, know that you're not alone in struggling. According to reports from the National Professional Fishing League, cold fronts before the spawn are notoriously tough fishing conditions. The Carson-Newman University fishing team recently competed at Lake Okeechobee during a cold surge, and while the bite was slower than expected, they still managed to place three boats in the top ten. The key takeaway here is finding stable water, keeping your confidence up, and maximizing every opportunity when they come.

Looking ahead, the Ultimate Angler Championship is scheduled for late September through early October 2026 on Lake Guntersville in Alabama, one of the most iconic bass fisheries in the country. If you're thinking about competing or just want to witness top-tier bass fishing at its finest, mark your calendars.

Thanks so much for tuning in this week. The bass fishing action is heating up, and we're just getting started with the prespawn season.
