Know Your Edges

[Lund Explorer]

Here's another in what looks like a "Know Your" series.

 

How many edges can you think of that bass might relate to?

 

Please copy, paste, and add to this partial list of all the edges bass might use:

 

1. Surface - Water to Air

 

2. Shoreline - Water to Land

 

3. Shade Line - Sunlight to Shadow

 

I can think of many others, what about you?

[A-Jay]

Here's  a couple more ~

 

Dirty water to Clean

 

Bottom Composition Changes (Rock to Sand, Sand to Mud)

[Nice_Bass]

channel edge to flat.

and

thermocline

Where dead and live grass meet

The edges of a school of bait.

Edge of comfortable water temp. Schooling bass.

Flooded rivers... Flowing to 90 degree turns

Flooded as in old river channels dammed up for reservoir impoundment purposes a current change happens plus a 6 ft depth change @ the 90 bottom is 23, shelf at 17 thermocline is 17

Humm,, I know what I wanna say but I don't think it reads right

I'll add the top of submerged weeds.

[Lund Explorer]

I'll add the top of submerged weeds.

 

Weeds.

 

Inside, Outside, On Top Of, Underneath, Transition Between Types, and don't forget those funny little holes that show up in the middle of a weed bed.

 

Unless they're dead, bass will use one or more of each of these edges at some time in the year.

Grass to grass.

Grass to wood.

Rocks to rocks.

Grass to rocks.

Trees.

Blowdowns.

Drop offs.

Shade.

Stickups.

Grass edges.

Anything that a bass can feel secure and look for an easy meal.
