These are some of the key changes in summer bass behavior: Move deeper to find cooler water and oxygen Feed more in low-light hours (dawn/dusk) Use shade, grass, and structure for ambush Suspend more frequently over deep water Typical water temperatures that summer bass live in: 7075F: Bass may still be shallow, especially in the morning 7585F: Fish move deeper midday but feed aggressively early and late 8595F: Deep structure, current, and oxygenated water become critical Overall water temperature plays a big role in fishing for summer bass as they move off their beds and replenish their bodies form the Spring Spawn
If hes flopping everywhere and that rod is too stiff hes going to come off. Read a buried fish Whether or not to go into a mat to get a fish really depends on whether or not its actually buried
Specifically designed to fish in the coldest conditions, the Prorex will still be humming in icy waters and frigid temperatures
Usually wrapping the mono around your hand and pulling tight to the rod tip gives you enough tension to to start the serve, but having another person hold the line might make it easier on you
My point is this: Rotate through your selection, and don't just assume that fish aren't there if you're not catching them
