The best pre-spawn pattern that has worked for me is to find transitional areas (changes -- visible and underwater) near spawning flats and CRANK THE HELL OUT OF IT! Crank it until your arms are burning and feel like they are going to fall off. If you get them fired up, catch 'em until you stop getting bit. Then change colors and use a crank with no rattles. Subtle changes will fire them up again. If not, switch your presentation and slow it down a little with a jerkbait (like said above), a jig, or a big worm. This works for me.

Hope it helps you.
