I've done really well in the mid summer in a channel off of a local lake with lots of current running through it. I did well pitching baits to eddies there and you could just tell it was loaded with bass. That was when the rain was pretty consistent- maybe twice a week.

Now it's the dog days where it's hot, sunny, and dry and I haven't been able to get a single bite back in that channel. There is still current. Does this mean they've moved out or what? It seems as if all shallow slop patterns have stopped due to this falling water and fish are pulling out to weedlines. Will there be more bass positioned behind eddies when it rains?(hopefully soon)

What is the water temperature, what are you using and what time do you fish?  I have noticed the same thing at times when the water gets real warm they move to deeper, cooler water or just get fussy. Sometimes they just want a different presentation.  Try using more fiinese techniques and letting the bait sit on the bottom like a jig or throw a slow sinking bait like a tube or sinko worm. 

The water temp has stayed constant right around 80 even when the fishing was really good so I don't think that's affecting it. The only chance I've had to fish the canal is 5:30pm-7:30pm. There are plenty of large tree trunks acting as eddies and matted vegetation for bass to hide near.  I've been using 3/4 and 1oz Zoom Grass Craws in Junebug and Green Pumpkin.

I've thrown dropshots and shaky heads to try to coax one into biting and I just really feel like I'd at least get a bite it there were fish in there which is why I feel that they've just completely moved out. I'm also not seeing all the baitfish I used to in there.

So the thing on my mind is falling water due to lack of rain.

Sometimes you just cannot figure them out. I have noticed in the damed lakes I fish that they also turn off when the water is dropped. The only other thing I can think of is changing your colors and trying a different time of day like early morning.

I FIshed current alot in a river fed lake this past summer in texas. I found that I could only get them consistyenly biting only inb the morning. Break of dawn to 8:00 roughly. You might want to give the early morning bite a try.
