I personally am always learning but i try and fish Shallower in a.m until sunlight hits my area. Then i try cover,pads,docks,trees etc. If nobody home i probe deeper weed lines.
That's probably the most basic answer. I always try new things hoping to learn something different and better my catch.

Good stuff Jay!!!
I can add that It really depends on the pond you are fishing. I find ponds have ...... for lack of a better word...... a personality.
You can have 2 ponds 2 miles apart and in 1 the bass move offshore on humps and weedlines in summer and in the other they remain shallow and use the wood, rocks and docks. If I do not know the pond at all or very well, I start shallow because shallow fish are aggresive fish. They are shallow to feed in summer. I progressivly move deeper and deeper as I determine the bite for the day. Some days I am shallow all day, others I move deeper and deeper as the day progresses and others I am out in the middle of the lake within a couple hours fishing the offshore stuff.
