First thing in the morning, the last few hours of light in the evening, and after dark, try top waters such as spook type lures and buzzbaits. Hard jerk baits have also recently been very effective, especially when the bass suspend. Finesse baits such as wacky rigged worms and drop shots on fluorocarbon line are one effective way to catch the bass when they are inactive. With the warmer temperatures, spend most of your time in the deeper water especially where it connects to aquatic submersed vegetation.
