I switch bass species. March - may largemouth at the lake. June-September smallmouth in the river october-November back to largemouth.

nope fish just as much maybe more

trolling for chinook salmon and steelhead in 150-400 fow. cant believe how lucky i am to live here.

I fish for my wallet when I go to Lowes every other day buying crap for my bathroom remodeling project. Thanks Honey!

I will fish for bass early in the morning from (5am) until 8-9am, then either go grocery shopping with wife and kids. Or my wife will give me a bio-weekly to do list...

Just because it's hot, doesn't mean you gotta stop bass fishin! I'm still having tons of luck! But I do enjoy catchin Cats and Crappie out on Sinclair, GA.

i never stop i might not catch as many but i usually do catch a few

The only time in the year when I don't target bass is when I cast out and the lure skids across the ice - then I take a break from bass fishing.

Although, I admit that in summer, when the bite from the bank slows down, that I usually have an ultralight rod in the car to catch whatever will bite...

X2^ I throw something to target bass every time I go out, but if they're not cooperating, catfish, wipers, white bass and bluegill get my attention.

I always carry bass gear but mostly slow down and downsize for other species including bass. With the severe drought and fewer weeds in the northeast, summer patterns have changed drastically and locating deeper structure holding bass is becoming harder. Rather get 40 fish and 100 bites than few bites and zippo bass. Love those 12" crappie on light gear!

I will fish for bass in the summer and/or anything else. Spent this past Wednesday-Sunday at Smith Mountain Lake. I spent more time fishing for cats than bass. Was skunked out on the boat for bass the one time i talked my uncle into taking it out to fish, I swear last trip before this one he had a fit when i pulled a striper in and threw it on the carpet lol. Had no success from the dock either. Of course normally all summer i see bass swimming around the dock there, nada this trip, water temps were in like the mid-80s. i assume because of the recent heat wave in the area that most bass had moved to deep water. At most i had a few not even 12 inch bass follow my baits in. So i focused most of my efforts on night fishing for cats and whatever else wanted to bite. Go figure this is when i caught a few bass over the course of the weekend on nightcrawlers on a drop shot. I believe that confirmed to me that the fish were deeper because the bass were much lighter in color than im used to from this lake. I ended up catching a bunch of nice 3-4lb channel cats in the 18-21 inch range on night crawlers, chicken livers, and shrimp. Night fishing ruled the weekend, fishing on the dock till 2:30-3am, there may have been bass out early in the morning, but i was asleep

The only time I stop bass fishing in the summer and fish for something else is when I am reaching down in the bottom of an ice chest getting the coldest budweiser I can find.
