When you move past worm and a bobber, or maybe better, worms and nightcrawlers without a bobber or any weight, you can cast nightcrawlers without weight, let them sit awhile, retrieve and try elsewhere near cover, doesn't necessarily have to be deep, when you move past live bait, try a traditional-style plastic worm. I use the slender Chompers brand, no twisting tail to complicate matters, not even a paddle tail, and just use a light size 2 hook if weeds and cover aren't thick, a 3/0 inset worm hook if weeds or cover is thick, and NO weight. Senkos sink twice as fast. Bass are not actually lethargic because metabolism is cold blooded and races so fast in the heat, they don't go after fish and quickly retrieved lures much at all during summer, especially at mid-day, in order to preserve those calories burning so quick. If they rush after a fish--that expends energy. They don't do that. But they DO take easy meals. And a SLOW-sinking Chompers...bass just suck that in. Any time of day.
