Any time our water isn’t frozen!
My favorite time is May (prespawn) to August (late summer) I’ve never done well on a swim jig past September

I personally have not had good luck early in the year untill the water gets around 58 degrees after that the rest of the year has a time and place. Have done way better a on lakes with weeds than the ones without.
It's insane during the shad spawn.

Almost always until the water is below 55.
