Prepping for September

[Jim_From_Zim]

OK, so it has been a long wait for September to finally get here.
I believe that the Bass start to spawn in September, so it is time for me to start to prepare.

I have done the basic hardware prep by re-spooling, and cleaning the reels and rods. I have serviced the outboard, started it and made sure that it is ready for the season. I have a fresh COC. My flotation is current and I am ready to go.

Now this is were this forum comes in to play.

What does spawning mean to me?
Is this when I irritate a bass by buzzing the nest so that they attack my lure?

How do I locate a nest?
Is this a visual identification, or can a fish finder be of use?

Does your fishing style differ during spawn ?
If so, how?

When does spawn end ?
What do we do after spawn?

Guys, I really need to catch a few fish this season.
Any help will be appreciated.

Eish... Too many questions for my mobile to handle. 
W, let me get into the office next monday and I'll give a better reply when i have enough time to open my laptop

But the basic answer to all your questions is this: its a plotting game and they spawn when the water temp gets to 68/69 deg F or 16/17 deg C
