What Are The Bass Doing?

[lawton]

Hi everybody, I was planning on going fishing this weekend but don't know where to start looking. I have read many reports of them still being out on the deep weedlines, but some of the articles I have read recently have me thinking I should look in shallow coves for late summer/early fall bass, as the baitfish leave due to the thermocline, and also the cool august nights. Where do you think I should start, and where do you think I should expect to find the bass? Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Several reliable techniques right now will catch fish consistently. It all depends what you want to do. There are so many variables depending on the lake your fishing, water clarity, cover/structure your fishing, weather, etc. Personally I would start with a frog, a jig, a rubber worm and a crankbait tied on. Frog fishing is really fun. Find the thickest nastiest weeds in the lake and toss a frog right into the middle of it. You shouldn't be disappointed.
