If they are looking for something more specific, they might take another road to their favorite underwater hump that provides some crayfish along the
rocks. It is often said that 90% of fish are in 10% of the water. Bass might have to take a road to get to their favorite place to eat or just hang out. That
is like us jumping in the car to go to a restaurant. If someone could throw a hamburger through your window, you'd probably eat it, but you're not likely
to stop until you get to the restaurant. Once you get there, you're going to hang out for a while. Fish use the underwater structure the same way. They
swim along a stretch of water to get to their favorite places and they stay in those places for a longer period of time. It doesn't matter if those places are
creek channels, shallow flats, a deep hole, sunken island, a weed edge or a stump. The point is that they spend most of their time on these specific
places and they use the rest of the water as their underwater highway to get to these places. If you can find out when they hang out in the different
types of structure, you will catch more bass.
The quickest and easiest way to locate structure is to use a fish finder. Use it to locate flats, drop-offs, creek channels, humps, and more. If you can
figure out when the bass come into these different types of structure, you will have your best chance for catching fish. The best fishermen know what
type of structure bass like to feed around. Suspended bass 20 feet deep in open water are very hard to catch. On the other hand, bass in 8 to 12 feet
with weeds are much easier to catch during the morning and evening when bass are feeding. Locate the structure, find out what types of structure they
feed around, and what time they feed on that structure and you will be a better bass fishermen.
