This Two Bait Approach Catches Late Summer Bass!

Come along with the guys for a late evening bass fishing session! They're targeting bass around docks and timber, and they've developed a perfect 1 –2 punch for catching these fish. They have two patterns going at the same time and when the bass won't eat one, they eat the other!

We all love throwing topwater this time of year. And if you've jumped on the "Karashi" train lately, then you already know that is one of the most amazing bites you'll ever experience! But a trick we've learned for late Summer is that fishing these baits in tandem (one angler throwing one, one angler throwing the other) really seems to ignite these fish and we can catch almost every fish we get near.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits used in the video. We've also included some of the key combos we were using, especially the Karashi combo where the right setup makes all the difference in how the bait moves in the water.
