What time of day is best to fish for bass?

The best time to catch largemouth is usually at first light throughout spring and fall. Bass tend to begin spawning as early as late Feb and into June depending on the region. In general, when the water begins to warm up to the 60's F they will begin preying heavily on small fish, frogs, crayfish and generally whatever they can fit into their gaping mouths. During the cooler days of spring and fall, they tend to be active all day especially when the sky is overcast. Also watch out for cold fronts coming in and storm fronts breaking as this often leaves them 'sulking' and very inactive. During the hot summer months, they are generally very active at first light and in the late evening and can easily be caught by popping top water baits across the surface. I have also landed many a bass from spinner baits as well as a variety of soft baits in vegetation and structured areas. As the heat of the day comes forth and the sun comes glaring down, the bass tend to suspend in the deeper parts of the water, especially where a cooler stream flows in near the bottom. You can fish this time of the day just be sure to think 'deeper' and use deep diving crank baits, Texas rigged soft plastics and jigs.

Also try deep points with Carolina rigs in summer.
