Great information from everyone so far, Rattlinrogue suggested early morning summer topwater and that is one of my favorite techniques as well as one of the most exciting ways to catch a bass so you really should give it a try. All the lures suggested are good choices but my go to bait for that purpose is a black buzzbait.

Try using brass weights instead of lead, brass transmits vibrations much better than lead and will give you a much better picture of the bottom composition.
