With extended high temps and little rain bass are going to be lethargic and looking for an easy meal. I targeted laydowns with a shakey head and found success. Drag the worm along the bottom, with an occasional twitch. Moving the bait slowly is key here.

Throwing around cover in the shade was key. Lay downs and brush piles in the shad right up on the bank and throwing uptight to boat dock and boat houses in the heavily shaded sides and where dock floats and boat at the dock meet.
