While bass may be more active and likely to chase a spinnerbait, crankbait, or topwater during the morning and evening, they are less likely to chase a
bait during the middle of the day. Fishing docks and boat houses can be most productive throughout the day because the sun dictates where the fish
will be. Fish will be located on the shady side of the dock around 99% of the time. Locate the shady side of the dock and flip or pitch jigs and soft
plastics to these precise targets and hold on. You can catch bass in the middle of the day with this technique. Some anglers will flip live bait into these
areas to help coax a sluggish bass into feeding.
Other man-made features may not be as easy to find. Attractors will vary from christmas trees, clumps of brush, and crib shelters to cars, railroad
tracks, roadbeds and other various man-made features. Almost anything you can think of can end up under water and most of it attracts bass. When
fishing flooded reservoirs, you can find all types of things such as the railroad tracks and roadbeds. Finding these man-made features are not easy.
Using under water cameras can help. When you find a unique piece of structure holding fish on our fish finder, drop down an under water camera, like
an Aqua-Vu, and you will find some interesting things down there. Most of the time it won't be anything unique, but sometimes it can be a man-made
feature that will hold fish all year long. The best part about these man-made features is that most people don't know about them.
If you fish a lake that offers scuba-diving, finding some information from a local scuba diving class can be extremely beneficial to you. Sometimes, they
have their own maps of the underwater structure and you can find some hot spots that most anglers don't know about.
