Most modern bass anglers know the term structure, but many people do not know that famed angler Buck Perry coined the term and essentially began a new era of deep-water bass fishing. Perry died a few years ago, but through his writings and teachings, he got a nation of fishermen thinking and believing that bass used structure for their daily feeding, migrating and living in their watery world. Many anglers today fail to realize that structure is what connects deep water to shallow water where bass feed. Structure features lead the way for bass to reach comparatively shallow water, where they forage on minnows and other foods, and where most anglers consistently catch them. But it is deep water where bass spend the majority of their time. And that is often where the best opportunities for catching bass are overlooked, especially during the cold of winter and in the scorching hot summer.
