Early morning: bass are set up on points next to deeper water feeding on shad as they're transitioning out deep as the sun rises. Twitching a Teckel Kicknocker in Bone across points has been key for me this summer first thing in the morning. Mid-morning: A few bass are still up shallow feeding on the bluegill under overhangs and docks, skipping a jig or a stick bait under them will produce some bites for the reminder of the day. Bass are still busting on baitfish off the ends of laydowns next deep water, topwater walking baits works for the schooling fish and a jerkbait being a good choice for the single fish. Mid-day: typically the time I'm working my way towards the ramp due to boat traffic on this small impoundment. Using your electronics will help you locate the balls of bait & once you located the bait fan casting your favorite drop shot lure or a small swimbait in the general area of the bait & that will keep the bite going. Keep the topwater close by, the spotted bass are schooling throughout the day.
