Confusing but kool.

 

How about giving it another whack?

Spend some time looking around the site and read "Fishing Articles" at thw top

of the page. This will get you started:  http://www.bassresource.com/seasonal-fishing-articles/

I just posted about what lures I use in the summer on a similar thread. As far as locating them, try looking for a stream/branch/creek whatever you want to call it that feeds the pond or lake. This influx of cooler water brings more oxygen into the pond or lake and plus food items that attracts bass in the summer when the warmer water starts getting depleted of oxygen. Also fish around cover and aquatic vegetation that will attract bass due to higher oxygen levels from the plants as well.
