Where is your favorite type of spot (Shade, open water, pads, scum, ect.) And go to lure to catch the big bass?

 

Without a doubt, skipping docks is my favorite thing to do for bass. They will hold fish all year except for MN winters, but the bigger fish are under deeper docks.

Picking apart shallow cover. Frog, spook, and/or jig/soft plastic.

I like wood of all types. Logs, branches, brushpiles, docks, you name it. Pitch a Rage Craw in there! I also love lily pads for frogs, spinnerbaits, jigs, and plastics. 

Veg with open spaces and a frog no doubt.

Flooded timber or rip-rap banks. Pick 'em apart with a t-rigged craw or worm, or bang a squarebill through 'em.

Points .

I  will use frogs or senko or Ika on this stuff

 

GRASS

I guess it depends on the time of year but right now I'd take the shade of the cypress trees while flipping grass over anything...

I like fishing timber, and grass, if I can get the boat through it.

Bouncing square bills off timber, throwing frogs in pads is a good combo for me. Occasionally fishing weed edges, or dropoffs. Horizontal submerged wood also gets some nice bass occosional .

Timber and light structure with a senko or a fat ika. 

Open water with a KVD Sexy Dawg (walk the dog type lure).

for largemouth, flipping a jig, t-rig around, or frog around pads/heavy surface weeds is always exciting.

For smallmouth, nothing beats a smallie blasting a spook or Skitterpop in current.

I would say docks, but haven't fished docks at all this year, so I'll say timber with a jig/soft plastic.
