Find Cover with Deep Water Access: Bass need cooler water to survive the heat, but they also rely on structure as ambush points to hunt [00:52]. I show you how to identify the deepest parts of your pond and find the exact shade and structure big bass use to hide.

Revisit Your Honey Holes: Don’t just catch one big fish and leave! If you pull a giant out of a specific spot, remember it. Multiple big bass will often use the exact same cover to track down baitfish [04:06].
