Like all things Bass, it's about location..... I'm a bit north of most of you, IMHO, the nortern tip of the great bass fishing grounds (Plum Island)...The fishing sustains at higher level here through the summer months. This is my favorite time of year... for the most part, the "easy" fishing is over, most of the opertunity seekers have called "it" until the fall migration, when once again the fishing is easy... I've found that this time of year, the fishing is more steady and dependable, the fish tend to run the same patterns until the tide cycle brings them to daybreak , like others, I need a little more sleep than I once did and sometimes can't answer the bell, standard protocall the "morning after" has become a cup of black coffee and 2 Advil , gone are the times when I fished 15 or 20 straight nights, but, I dont need to anymore, I gave up selling them and have learned to spend my time more wisely, with the summer comes a change of habits and styles, from my perspective, if you do that... doldrums are no more than a frame of mind, not what the fish are doing, they still have to eat to survive... so somewhere, those fish are hungry, and if your prudent in your approach, reward is just a screaming drag away..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
