they have little of during the heat of the day in the summer. Willow trees at lake Shasta with spotted bass, it's the same approach - always hang your bait softly over a limb then lower it into the zone.
ok this next way is also very exciting. rocks, steep rocks, are key. You must find steep or vertical rocks with small pockets of shade, to much shade and they may be roaming and away from an easy ambush point for them, therefore not ready to eat. So take your swim bait or spook, spinner bait, whatever… and run the bait so the bait is rubbing the rock and the paint off your bait ,yes that close, it has to be, big bass want it very easy and that's what we’re after here, big bass. it can be a pain in the butt to get the right cast, but the difference is a 1 lber or a 5 lber. Sometimes you will find a rock or a log in the right position where you have shade on one side in a likely spot where you can pitch over the log or rock on to the shady side and just hang target and shake it just enough to get it to slide slowly into the water out of your sight and Mr. Big will eat it.
So often you're cruising down the bank and spot a big fish, come slip out from a log boom and you just pitched a spinner bait 2 ft in front of it. Nothing. Had
you done the sneak on him you would have had him or rubbed the bait down that log you would of got em. instead, i got em - so sorry.
So now i’m sure if you have been reading or fishing awhile you have heard of fishing frogs on matts or pitching a texas rigged bait into a hole behind a blow up in the matt or punching thick weeds or lilly pads. Well the same would apply under those areas. remember to keep it super shallow like a foot or less in most cases. Very tight, super slow, and most of all… quiet.
