How To Find And Catch Summer Bass! (Big Swimbaits, Flutter Spoons, And Topwater Tips)
Where do bass go in Summer? Some stay shallow, while others move out deep. Both groups of fish require different lures and approaches. Today we're headed out on the water to check both groups of fish. We do some shallow fishing, some ledge fishing, and ultimately locate big, aggressive fish on an offshore flat. Come along!
Summer is all about adapting to the conditions. Water flow, water temperature, cloud cover, and presence of baitfish, can all change how the fish are positioning and feeding. Watch as Tim's day starts out slow but ramps up as he continues to adapt until locating aggressive fish. Also pay extra attention to the details on lures as he talks about adapting and rigging the different baits he's catching fish on.
Below you'll find links to all the baits and equipment Tim used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors and sizes for each so you can see exactly what he was using. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
