As said, some bass are resident in shallow water...with the grass coming back on Ky Lake, more of the shad are also staying shallow but majority still move to ledges and the majority of bass follow. The shallow bite is a backup or secondary bite to the ledge bite...on some days it is the better bite and can save your day on a slow ledge bite day. Also, there is grass now on the many of the ledges...especially down south of Paris...you can get a frog bite on the top of these ledges too on many days.
