Here is my essay, Professor Ha Ha: I try to consider the life cycle of the Bass, which includes Pre-Spawn, Spawn, Summer, Fall, etc., as well as the current and predicted weather conditions to determine the ideal location and fishing style. Countless lures are available, and I group them into two broad categories: Power and Finesse, and sub-categories such as water column, speed, etc. The color of the lure seems important. I group colors into either dark or light, with thousands of variations. I want to improve my skills in choosing a set of lures; this can be pretty challenging. I tend to have too many rods on deck to figure out what works. So, could you recommend any videos that could help me understand the Bass life cycle, and the lake/river/weather conditions that affect it? This is a big ask, and may even be the main purpose of this school. I am not asking for too much, am I? LOL.

Thank you for the questions. Sitting back and listening to videos is easy, but I still need to absorb all the information, especially when there are so many videos and information on the internet. Investigating and answering your questions will help me learn by re-watching, researching, and writing an answer, along with lots of practice time. I think I just asked for homework? ;-)
(Part1)- Environmental factors like photoperiod, i.e., length of day and night, are transition triggers. In the fall, the fish will school up and chase fish with less visible cues. In other seasons, the fish will generally dissipate in the lake except during spawn.
