Regardless of the season, long-time pro Terry Tucker, of Gadsden, likes to fish shallow for big bass on Weiss Lake. On a recent trip, in blistering triple-digit temperatures, he boated what would have amounted to a near 20-lb. tournament sack while flipping a variety of shallow cover.
If a sack like that is possible from the shallows when water temperatures are in the 90s, you can bet this pattern will hold up in September.
