Jun 24, 2015 - Sometimes, finding summer bass is as easy as finding that spot of shade. Dave Wolak at Field & Stream points out, however, that not all shade is created equal.

 

He provides some summer bass tips for different kinds of shade.

 

A snippet:

Just as we like shade on a hot day, so do the fish. And just as we can find shade in a variety of places, so can the bass. They can either seek refuge in deeper water with less light penetration, or find something shallow that casts a good shadow. A smarter-than-average bass angler can take the shade hunt a step further and decipher how much or how little shade is just the right mix to attract both a bass and make the fish easy targets.
