Bright sun changes everything after the spawn.
Most anglers keep fishing open water, but post spawn bass often tighten up when the sun gets high. They pull closer to shade, cover, and anything that gives them protection.
That could be a dock, a tree, or even just the shadow line on a grass edge.
If the bite suddenly slows down under bright conditions, it is not always the bait.
It is often where the fish choose to sit.
