[quote KeepitWeedless]...in spring the water is cooler which create more activity in the fish. But in some states/areas where the water temp can raise a lot during the summer months the fish start to move to the cooler water. (deeper, more structure)...[/quote]
I've found what you are saying to be exactly true. In the Spring, spinnerbaits were on fire for me. I'd throw them all day long about 5 to 15 feet off the shore line and get reactive strikes from bass on beds. Now that the water temps are up, those same bass (smallies anyway) are nowhere near shore.
I kind of found the answer to my question since I asked it through fishing and experiencing the change.
Bait - Spring / Summer
Cranks - ZERO luck / like hotcakes!
Senkos - so-so / lots of action
Spinnerbaits - best bait / worst bait
Jigs - no luck / no luck
Topwater - little success / relaible
In-line spin'rs - very hot / very cold
Swimbaits - little action / big bass catcher
Tubes - reliable / slightly less reliable
