Bass can be finicky eaters. Changes in the weather and the water temperature as well as factors like the sun coming out or going behind a cloud can make bass decide it’s time to eat or time to hunker down in the weeds and vegetate. When bass don’t want to bite, many anglers call it a day and head home. Some anglers, however, don’t have the luxury of heading for the dock when the fishing gets tough.
