Some people will say you should avoid fishing for bass when they are spawning and others say it is fine as long as the bass is immediately caught and released. With that being said one of the best ways to catch them is on a Texas rigged plastic lizard.

I read tube a few times but I like to carolina rig a tube filled with two ear foams that are used to protect your hearing. This helps float the tube. The floating tube rig works great in grass and stained water postspawn also. Try throwing a jitterbug at night during spawn also. I once went out for a couple hours around 9:00 pm eastern and ended up leaving around 3:00 am because I was having so much fun I couldn't stop 'till I couldn't tie knots any more. That was in early to mid April in Ohio( a lil cold ). The pattern worked and has since. good luck and good fishing.

Tube bait or skirted grub worked on the bed with weight or not!Also with bed fishing you want that lure to stay on the bed these bedded fish dont always eat a bait but sometimes just blow or push the bait away so keep it on the bed and in time the bass will attempt to kill it or carry it off!
And to the person leaving all the thumbs down to all these good answers! You are being very childish!

In the states I've lived in, Minnesota for one, you can't fish any Bass in a spawning area or, when they're spawning.

A Tube with as little weight as possible placed in the nest, let it sit and shake it every once in a while...out of a protective instinct they will strike. Usually you will catch the Buck (male) first, then you can go after the bigger female.
I have spent as much as 35 mins trying to hook the female after the male hit my bait fast. Some pros have spent as long as 45 min. after one female.
Lizards, will work also as will a creature bait. You are trying to imitate something that is/will be a threat to the eggs and/or fry.
Color will depend a lot of local conditions. Watermelon seed with chartreuse tails works well. Experiment...and good luck and tight lines.

heres a old trick i use that works everyting as long as you can see the beds... take a 2oz sliding sinker and thread it on your line then attach a bluegill colored crankbait to your line cast it on the bed and let it sink to the bed take the slack out of your line and let the crankbait float to the top then reel in enough line so you can make it look like the crankbait is just going upn and down on the bed eating the eggs by lifting your rodtip up and down the bass will come back to the bed quickly and try to get rid of the pesky crankbait thats eating his eggs almost everytime..... sounds crazy but it works i have one 3 tourneys like this

During spawning, bass tend to strike because they are frustrated with whatever is in front of them. usually a crankbait or a plastic worm works great.
