I also believe summer to be the best time to bass fish as well as early fall.. I think it is because the ice is off the water and it has warmed up alot..

I kind of do too...I 've always been the spring spawn man..but when a cold front comes through...which are many in Feb. and Mar..fishing can be tough..I mean I'm fishing at the same places I was in Feb. - May and back then did not get a bump..same worm same set up..same moon phases..

In the summer..just as Doug has said I slow my presentation down ALOT..when I worm fish..I do alot of stationary shakey head type deal instead of ripping the worm carelessly through the weeds..Spinnerbaits are on a very slow roll..I still think moon phases play a big part so I only fish the 4 days before the new and full moon..

Fall and Winter..don't fish them anymore..archery and general gun take priority and the fishing tackle gets stored away.

i start to fish in february and fish until i can hunt in november, and then hunt until i can fish again in february. its a beautiful circle of outdoor activity giving me something to do year round :P

if i had 2 months to fish after big fish it would be march and november. smallies of course. largemouth it would be april and october.

I catch more bass in the summer because I know where they are thier either offshore, under docks ,or in the grass.But in the spring they could be spawning or suspended.
