On sunny days, bass will go very deep or hang around cover that provides shade. If you can't catch them around cover throughout the day, you know that you have to fish in the morning, evening or at night. You don't want to have to search for the bass that are suspended in deep water. It will take too much time and most of the time you will go home skunked. This doesn't mean that you can't catch a limit of big bass suspended in deeper water. We're just saying that on sunny days, it can be very tough targeting suspended bass in clear water. Most anglers will have a tough time on the water under these conditions. Try targeting bass early in the morning, during the evening or at night. Clear lakes provide some of their best fishing opportunities at night. If you can get on the water during a cloudy day, it will increase your odds tremendously when fishing clear water.
Most successful anglers use light line, live bait or very fast retrieves with their lures. Light line and live bait will produce fish. If you prefer using lures, try faster retrieves so the fish don't have enough time to see that your lure is not real. Crankbaits, spinnerbaits and swimbaits work well in clear water.
