Now that both the calendar and temperatures tell us summertime is officially here some bass fishing techniques will definitely fare better than others out on Mozingo Lake. It almost seems amazing when you stop and consider just a few weeks ago we were in the midst of a fairly cool and wet spring but just look at how quickly things change.

Though some bass always remain close to shore, many of Mozingo’s bass have started to drift off to deeper creek edges and points.

• Always keep a “follow-up” bait handy to quickly throw at when shallow fish miss your topwater offering; &
