Targeting BIG Bass In Offshore Grass! ( Topwater Bite Is On Fire šŸ”„)

Come along for some insane topwater fishing!! Matt dropped his aluminum boat into a new lake and is going exploring. It only takes a few minutes to locate fish hunting along offshore grass lines. Its been a long time since we've been on a wide open topwater bite like this!

Some days it feels like you make all the right decisions. From where the fish were positioning to the baits they were eating, this lake fit right into Matt's style of fishing. The Giant Dog X and the Magdraft made a great pair on the grass lines but Matt still took the time to explore other options and further dial in the bite.Ā 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, colors, and rod and reel combos Matt used throughout the morning. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.Ā

Summer Bass Fishing: Where Bass Go And How To Catch Them!

Summer fishing is amazing when you know where to go! As temperatures rise, bass follow very predictable patterns. Once you know where to find them, its easy to catch fish! Even when Summer temperatures are at their highest, bass behavior can be predicted and you can keep catching fish despite the heat. Quit struggling this Summer and start catching fish!Ā 

If you don't know where to look, Summer fishing seems like a lost cause. The bass have separated into two distinct schools and they're not in any of your favorite fishing holes. The first goes shallow into cover and the second heads out to main lake structures. The shallow fish are fun because you can target them with a variety of power fishing techniques. The fish on outside structures group up around current when available and hard bottom when the water is calm. These fish can be caught on a variety of lures and tend to feed in aggressive "bite windows".Ā 

Below you'll find links to our "Top Baits For June" video, as well as the key baits we discussed in the video. We've also included details on size and color for each lure, as well as some great budget-friendly rod and reel combos for fishing these baits affectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.Ā
