In early spring, predators still hang out near their wintering spots, only rising to nearby shallows when water temperature rises. Mount the Deeper fish finder on any kayak or jon boat in seconds with Deeper Flex Arm 2.0 and secure your phone with Smartphone Mount for Boat and Kayak. Monitor water temperature to find the warmest bays and scan to find loping areas that get progressively deeper and offer fish a chance to pull back if the water temperatures begin to drop.

Be mobile when fishing from the bank – grab a sturdy rod to cast the 3oz Deeper fish finder and Deeper Smartphone Mount for Any Fishing Rod. Look for underwater structures as in spring these attract predators as well as their food sources. Start deeper and work your way in to find what stage of the spawn the fish are in. Fan casting the fish finder from one spot will also help eliminate water that doesn’t hold fish and map the bottom layout.

Studying the layouts of lakes and viewing contours can be a big benefit in targeting pre-spawn gamefish. Creek channels and roadbeds near secondary points can be great spots to find fish staging without having a fish finder. Getting access to lake charts on Fish Deeper™ app is easy with a Premium subscription. It will help educate you on the bottom contours of your waterbody and narrow down and mark the most promising areas.
