I've seen bass that have moved to shallow water for the spawn but, water temps are in the mid to high 50's, sit in water so shallow their back is out of the water. The more common sight for the term is when you see a bass suspended just under the surface in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight is hard on the eyes of a bass. It's a good indicator as to how much they like "sunning" in cold water.
