It’s common knowledge that wind and waves put bass on the prowl and that glassy water means tough fishing, especially on hot summer days. While most anglers struggle to get bites on still water, savvy bass pros sometimes make heavy catches under these conditions. That’s because bass hold to predictable places when the water’s flat.
Although flat-water bass are tentative, you can often sit in one spot and coax several bites. While bass are more aggressive when it’s windy, if you make the right adjustments, you can score big on flat water.
