Bass in sun

[Gobble Doc]

I'm not a great bass fisherman.  Sometimes catch a few.  I'm concluding that trying to fish for bass in the middle of the day with full sun is a complete waste of time.  I'd like to know if anyone has experiences that tell them otherwise other than the ocassional exception.  Why do I keep thinking that a big fat worm in front of bass is going to somehow work regardless of the time of day?

I usually fish the shady spots.  Don't let the sun keep you off the water.  You can't catch a fish if your line is dry!

bass will hit all times of day..
bright sun means you look for the shade. if there is no trees or overhaning brush then look for weed mats ,lillypads , or reeds will provide the cover they like.

When it gets warm, the bass simply move to a cooler spot. Try shade, weeds, stumps/logs, or deeper water.

Fish docks on the shady side.

Thanks everyone.  You've given me something to think about.

if there's wind or a breeze they'll still be there.

check fishing reports. i think the biggest thing is that when the water/sun is cool, the fish are shallower and probably a little denser. Think about it, you are working only 6ft of water. so in a 20ft by 20ft square area, 6ft deep, that's what, 2400 cubic feet of water you are working. But when it gets hotter and the bass move deeper to get into cooler water/away from light, say at 20ft deep, now you're working 60+ plus away from the shoreline, so the same 20ft width is 20x60x20ft deep, 24,000cubic feet that you are now working with the same lure trying to get your bass.

I've never heard anyone put it that way< i just think it makes sense. but on washingtonlakes.com most of the consistent 'pros' catch there fish from butt crack of dawn till 9-10am.
