Deep or shallow

Chillyjr · 08-14-07, 01:24 PM

What is best in the early morning? My area I'm looking at is a ledge wall into 20-25 feet of water going up to 2 to 4 feet with surface cover. Should I crank the outside deeper water or move right into the corner cove working the outside edges and over the top of the slop. This area holds big bass but to get to the shallow would mean boating through the deep water, maybe blowing the chance the bass would be a little deeper.

Early morning I like to throw topwaters around shallow points, and then as the day progresses I switch to a deep diving crankbait and fish drop-offs.

If bass are deep, you shouldn't scare them away, even if you do, they will return quickly. 10' deep usually they aren't terribly bothered by the boat. Especially if you stay there and are quiet.

really is only a question of where the biting fish are.. shallow fish may bite better early but deep fish tend to bite better during the hot of the day..
