Bass Metabolism In the Summer
by Wayne Jb

Summertime finds bass metabolism at its peak, with requiring much more food than usual. Concentrate your fishing on the areas where the predominant food source is available. In many lakes, the main bass diet is shad or any minnow type fish. It's rare to find anything but the occasional straggler bass in areas where little food is present. Look for breakline areas with lots of structure such as points, bays drop offs, etc. Go for the coldest water on the lake or river. Bass will hold deep near major food supplies, then move up water near slopes and ledges to feed. Try to find places where the water will be coolest, such as shadows beneath dense trees, lily pads, weed vegetation and canopies, places where feeder creeks enter the lake and the shady side of any large stucture.

Tight lines and god bless,
