re: Help me catch bass

First thing, they won’t bite it if they aren’t there. The practical difference between rigs, colors, styles is splitting hairs if you’re not putting it in front of their face. Tweaking the presentation comes in when you know generally where they are and what they’re doing. It’s postspawn and getting hotter by the day so fish will move deeper, until the bluegill get busy then there will be a few bass hanging around their beds. What you want to do is cover water and try to determine where and why you got bites. Small swimbaits, squarebills, spinnerbaits, prettymuch anything that you can chunk and wind will make a good search bait. Try to read the bank and gauge where contours in the bottom might be, usually pond/lake fish will hold just off it while they wait to feed.
