Default Bass: Shallow? or Deep?

I have been catching LM in shallow early in the morning and deep in the afternoon lately. Are you guys having similar experience?

Water has cooled way down from a few weeks ago. Seventy on top and only 66 at 17-18 feet. I normally fish deeper for bass, although that's changing with the weather. Plan is to go back on the troll with plugs and metal that runs 5-10 and cover water. Using the side finder to locate fish and avoid areas where they are not.

Fished LH on sat am, caught 8 bass around docks in 3-5' of water. My son caught 5 bass on a spro frog on the weed beds. Most guys on the lake seemed to be targeting the deeper weed beds. I was surprised to pull out a nice 3lb smallie from under a dock.

Ive seen the biggest concentration of fish in general on the deep weed edge, they are already starting a fall pattern in LH. There are still plenty of fish shallow, but the bait is deeper and so are the panfish so the game fish follow the food.

All I'm hoping for is some cooler weather to take most of the idiots of LH so I can take my boat out use binskies and see what I can catch!

Suspend all hope if your fishing today or Tuesday. Hot. Hot. Hot. Things should get back to cooling down by the weekend.
