which season spring or fall do you think bass can be found more likely in the same areas. i think summer/fall but i've heard different opinions.

 

thanks 

Summer & winter ?

 

Spring the bass are moving to feed, pre-spawn & then a final movement to spawn.

 

Fall the bass are moving to feed up for winter.

 

Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall are relative to what part of the country you live in. 
 

Not sure if your question is leading to chance of catching your bigger fish or not. 
 

But for me it seems to be late September thru mid October. I feel if I’m gonna catch an outstanding fish it will come at this time. Outstanding being relative to where I am. Doesn’t not always happen. But it has. And I’m not fishing in the bass meca of the country either. What is outstanding to me is nothing to Southern guys. 

Maybe we don't clearly understand the question.  Are you asking when the fish will be in the same location day after day?  Or when you will find numerous fish in the same spot on the same day?  Like @Catt said, they are moving in the spring and moving in the fall.  Find fish on Tuesday and the next Tuesday they are long gone in spring and fall.  But if you are asking about finding a large group of fish in the same spot on a single day then that would be "late" fall.  In my area when the water temps get to 50 degrees (air temps around 40  which means a lot of anglers have already put their boats away) I am having my biggest number days by far.  Here that is usually three weeks of fantastic fishing just before or right at Thanksgiving.  If you are looking to catch the same fish in the same spot week after week that would be during the highest heat of summer or during winter.  

If I understand the question, I find it easier to find concentrations of fish in the pre spawn than at the fall transition. That being said, they are the two best times to locate numbers of fish. Of course it's dependent on the specific body of water, location, and conditions. 

More or less Summer in my area, the majority of days here in summer are bright blue bird conditions which makes them “predictable” if that is what you may be after with your question.

If you really want to make it simple they feed up before reproducing, recover/guard the hatch, and then feed up for winter. Basic survival, eat and reproduce.

 

If we are talking about predicability on my local water it would be summer.  We have fish that will stay shallow until the water freezes in the winter.  During the summer the lakes really shrink and they will be on/around anything that creates a canopy or casts a shadow.  It's not easy fishing, but it's easy to eliminate a lot of water.  

Pre Spawn and summer nights.
