Deeper more thorough watering. I have this issue too, very dry where I live.

The bitter can be taken out of a cucumber by cutting the stem end off about a half inch and then rubbing it in circles over the cut end. A weird white creamy goo will form over the cut end. Do this for a minute or two and wipe off the residue. The bitterness will be gone.
I couldn't believe it when an older relative showed me this trick.
