Here's another in what looks like a "Know Your" series.

 

How many edges can you think of that bass might relate to?

 

Please copy, paste, and add to this partial list of all the edges bass might use:

 

1. Surface - Water to Air

 

2. Shoreline - Water to Land

 

3. Shade Line - Sunlight to Shadow

 

I can think of many others, what about you?

Weeds.

 

Inside, Outside, On Top Of, Underneath, Transition Between Types, and don't forget those funny little holes that show up in the middle of a weed bed.

 

Unless they're dead, bass will use one or more of each of these edges at some time in the year.

Grass to grass.

Grass to wood.

Rocks to rocks.

Grass to rocks.

Trees.

Blowdowns.

Drop offs.

Shade.

Stickups.

Grass edges.

Anything that a bass can feel secure and look for an easy meal.
