Day on the lake: April edition

Posted on
The cancellation of spring 2020 Bassmaster Elite Series tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic left pro anglers, like the rest of us, sheltering at home. The travel hiatus impacted Bassmaster’s editorial schedule as well, forcing cancellation of spring Day On The Lake outings that had been scheduled months in advance. So, the bad news is, you won’t find a new DOTL for April 2021. But, because we know you follow this series to glean insights into the lures, presentations and thought processes Elite pros use to locate and catch bass on lakes they’ve never fished before, we’ve put together a compilation of pertinent factoids from every single April DOTL outing, dating back to the very first Day On The Lake outing way back in 1998! April is prime time for bass fishing, but it’s also a month fraught with erratic weather patterns and rapidly changing water conditions. This distillation of over two decades’ worth of pro angler savvy on where to fish and what to throw in April will arm you with the know-how and confidence needed to experience your best-ever spring bassin’ on your home waters. — <em>Don Wirth</em>
