With this heat, the bass are quickly transitioning from post-spawn to summer patterns, forcing us to slow down but still cover water until we find fish. There's a good number of fish stacked up in the weeds and chasing bluegill. I caught possibly the last bass to have not yet spawned.

Bluegill and crappie are starting to school up on the deep weed edges and the bass are right there with them. Look for panfish activity up on the surface or mark them on your graph in that 10-15' range. The bass are sitting in the weeds below the panfish waiting to strike. Run a chatterbait, spinnerbait, swimbait, crankbait, anything that resembles a bluegill over these deep weeds and you will find active bass. The post-spawn funk is coming to an end!
