During which season do Yellow Bass move shallower to utilize gravel or sandy bottoms?

Answer

The spring spawning season

The location of the Yellow Bass shifts dramatically based on the time of year and their biological needs, such as reproduction. During the spring spawning season, the fish transition from deeper wintering areas to shallower regions. In these shallower areas, they actively seek out gravel or sandy bottoms located within tributaries or bays where they perform their reproductive duties. This contrasts sharply with their behavior in the heat of summer when they retreat to deeper, cooler water.
