Believe or not there are many years in the past where the top water bite is better in March than in the late summer. I can go back to my 18 years of keeping up with my fishing and can show you where I have caught more big bass on buzz-baits than any time of the year. The even better news is that the buzz-baits have improved to the point that they're more lethal than ever. The onset of new ideas on buzz-baits by Secret Weapon Lures has in my mind taken buzz-baits to the next level. They have designed a buzzbait that has a willow leaf trailer blade in the back that displaces more water and makes just enough of a different sound that the fish love it.
March has just been unreal with this SWL buzzbait, when the fish have moved up into the shallow water getting ready for the spawn; it's on! SWL has not only designed great baits, but for Guntersville they have added a red skirt with gold blades and it has proving to be just deadly. This color combination for muddy water like we have this time of year along with the noisy sound has put some big lunkers in my boat in March for the past few years. I believe this SWL buzz-bait just aggravates these big lunkers in this late pre-spawn pattern to explode and just eat these buzz-baits.
The March time frame is a special time of year for big bass, they move and feed and get ready for the spawn. The thing is that big fish in this period strike sound and can be aggravated to hit top water, and these SWL buzz-baits do it well! If you want to have some early season fun, stop by Waterfront Tackle and grab a few of these buzz-baits or go on line and go to www.secretweaponlures.com and by the way if you buy on-line I can save you 30% off there listed price by using my promo discount code FLGGS9.
