Fishing for Bass in Summer
Generally speaking, summer fishing for black bass is not over productive. This is due to a number of causes but principally to the fact that at this time the fish are in very deep water. August, especially, is a very poor month; a succession of still, sultry days and nights is the usual thing for almost the entire month. By day the lake or river lies quiet and glassy in the blazing heat of the sun, and often the nights in the full of the moon are nearly day-light. As a consequence the bass seek the coolness to be found only in the deepest water and are distinctly off their feed. Successful bass fishing under such conditions should not be expected, and yet it is probably a fact that more bass fishing is done in August than in any other month. August is the generally accepted and duly accredited American vacation month. The summer bass angler who confines his fishing to the early morning hours, and again from sundown until dark, when the bass run into the shallows to some extent, will sometimes have fairly good sport. The bait-caster, especially, fishing early and late, may have fair success. But, however much bass fishing is done in the summer time; the angling at this time is not really satisfactory.
