Don't Make This Summer Mistake! (Everyone Overlooks This Spot)

Start catching fish while everyone else overlooks this spot! As we approach the middle of Summer, fish get harder to catch. If you're fishing the same techniques in the same places, you're probably starting to struggle. But there is something simple you can do to start catching fish again right now!

It's time to get away from the bank! Forget the shoreline you fish every day and start focusing your attention on submerged vegetation and color lines. Weed lines and weed edges are the EASIEST place to catch fish in your lake and almost no one is targeting them!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we use when targeting bass this time of year. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each lure to make it as simple as possible for you. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Summer Fishing - Tips For Finding Fish And Catching Bigger Bass

These boys dodged the heat wave and caught some giant bass! Hop in the boat with them as they arrive in Wisconsin after a 12 hour drive across 5 states! Watch how they build a pattern, immediately locate fish, and not only catch fish, but catch great BIG bass! 

The key to success this evening was understanding bass' movements during the post spawn. With no history to rely on the guys looked at the map, chose a couple likely locations, and immediately began catching fish. They used a two-part approach, mixing a spy bait in with a variety of swimbaits. Post spawn fish tend to be aggressive, they want to feed, and this mix of reaction baits was the perfect option to catch these bass. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were using. We've included the exact colors and sizes, along with the gear they were using to throw them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can find detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Summer Crankbaits: Everything You Need To Know! (Shallow & Deep)

Its crankbait time! If you want to catch bass consistent in the Summer, the crankbait should be part of your plan. Deep diving crankbaits and shallow crankbaits both deserve a place in your Summer line up. Today we're teaching what makes one bait better than another and how to pick the right baits for this time of year. We're covering details like best colors, hook arrangements, and retrieve speeds to help you catch more fish. 

You can go broke buying crankbaits! We know, because we've been there! If you try to buy a couple good colors in every major model of crankbait you can sink an entire retirement fund! Instead of going through that hassle, let us show you what we've already learned. There are a handful of crankbaits (ultra shallow, shallow, deep, and ultra deep) that should be in your line-up but you don't need a ton of models and you only need 2-3 colors. 

Below you'll find links to every bait Tim discussed in the video. We've included the baits, recommended colors, even hook upgrades. We've also included the best rod and reel combos for each style of bait, including an all-around budget friendly option. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can get detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Fish BIG Plastic Worms | Rigging Tricks For Summer Bass Fishing

Do you like fishing worms for Summer bass? Do you want to catch bigger bass? Its time to try BIG worms! Fishing a big worm is easy and can usually be done with gear you already own. In today's video Tim covers his favorite baits, favorite hooks and rigging options, and explains when and where to throw each style. If you're ready to target bigger bass, its time to give this a try! 

Big worms come in all shapes and sizes. They can be Texas-rigged, Carolina-rigged, Wacky rigged, or thrown on a big shaky head. There is a time for a straight tail worm and a time for a curly tail worm. Color is a whole different topic by itself! The whole thing can seem overwhelming when you're looking down a wall of soft plastics in the tackle shop! Today Tim is going to make it much simpler.
