Bass fishing can be productive at different times of the year depending on the species and location. In the spring, bass will seek out ideal spawning areas and in the late spring they can be found near the shoreline. During the summer, bass can be found in shade and cover. In the winter, fishing can be productive in deeper water. Fall and spring are the best times of year for bass, but summer and winter can still be productive with the right conditions. Bass are generally known to feed more heavily in low light conditions than during any other time of day, and mornings can also be a great time for bass fishing.
