Fishing lakes and ponds in the summer gets harder as the sun gets higher.I like to get as far off the bank with my Tracker as possible,just far enough to reach the bank with a crawl tube and bring her in slowley across the bottom to the boat.Dropshotting works good too.Water temp is the main factor here,its called the thermocline,if you can find it, thats where the fish will be most of the time.Otherwise what Bassman says works great at dusk with a popper or a topwater lure.
