Off Shore Bass Fishing! How To Catch Bigger Bass This Summer!

Come with us as we target offshore structure for early Summer bass! During the post spawn and early Summer, bass begin grouping on offshore structure. These fish are often overlooked and are frequently the biggest bass in the lake. Understanding how to find and target them will take your Summer bass fishing to the next level! 

In today's video we targeted fish in 10-30 feet of water. Depth and location in the lake were seemingly irrelevant, the key was finding hard structure on the bottom. It could be a log, a rock, or any other hard structure, as long as it was away from shore. When the spawn ends bass pull to these offshore havens to recuperate and to feed before the true heat of Summer sets in. 

As you saw in the video, these fish can be caught a variety of ways. They can be caught on finesse presentations, power fished, or even triggered into a reaction strike. Catching them can be fairly simple once you've located them. That said, we have very specific confidence baits that we really on year after year to put these fish in the boat as we explore lakes around the country. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits we were using, as well as the rod and reel combos that helped us land our fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Underspin Tricks For Post Spawn Bass Fishing

Underspins have exploded in recent years! There used to be a handful of light wire options, but these days you can get everything from a 12/0 weedless Beast hook to a tiny 1/8 oz finesse head. The rise of the underspin is directly tied to its effectiveness, and there is no better time to throw them than the prespawn. Could that little blade make that much of a difference? Let's find out... 

As the bass wrap up the spawn, shad and other baitfish begin spawning in the shallows. These baitfish congregate in schools and without fail, the bass take full advantage of the opportunity. The underspin allows you to choose your depth as you probe the edges of these bait balls in search of the biggest bass in the school. Yes, you could do this with a bare swimbait, but you'll never know what you've been missing until you try it with an underspin and experience the incredible drawing power created by the addition of a small blade below your bait. 

Fishing an underspin is simple, in most cases its an easy cast and retrieve presentation. Beyond that its a matter of matching the bait (willow leaf vs Colorado blade) to the baitfish and choosing the appropriate size. After that its just a matter of choosing a weedless presentation or an exposed hook. Narrowing down these selections is very simple. Below you'll find links to our favorite heads for each of these applications, as well as some of our favorite baits in each size category. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
