The summer transition marks the point
when cool air begins to mix in with the
warm summer humidity. When two
opposites mix together high winds tend
to generate which in return churns the
lake bottom and water temperature.
Luckily small insects and zooplankton
are easily influenced by wind current
thus provoking baitfish that feed on
zooplankton to follow nearby. Tiny fish
such as shad and juvenile bluegill will
congregate in large schools to track and
feed on windblown phytoplankton and
zooplankton. Heavy winds will be your
guiding light while on the water, pointing out where the baitfish might be
located and where to possibly find feeding bass.
