How To Catch Bass Right Now, Even Though Its HOT!

It's HOT outside! That's good news for bass fishing! Hot temperatures put bass in predictable locations and we're going to show you how to target them! With just a few simple baits you can catch fish all through the heat of Summer, no matter how hot it gets!

Whether you prefer fishing shallow or offshore, Summer heat will help you catch more fish. Shallow fish move into shadows (we'll explain this in the video) and deep fish make room to let the giants feed. We target them during periods of high sun using large profile baits in likely locations. Summer fishing is easy once you apply this approach!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we recommend in the video. We've even included our favorite colors for each bait, as well as some of the rod and reel combos we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Wakebait Fishing For Bass! (Everything You Need To Know)

BIG Wakebaits Catch BIG Bass! Today We're going to show you how to fish them! From the basics of retrieves and lure shapes, to advanced details on bait design, we're breaking down all the details of fishing with big topwater for bass. Whether you like to throw a lipped Wake, a multi joint, a rat, or giant walking bait, these are the details you need to know!

Very few baits are capable of catching bass in both Summer and Winter, around cover or open water, which makes it even more amazing that wakebaits are largely overlooked by many anglers. It's time for that to change! Let's start with a look at the River2Sea Tactical Wake 210, but we won't stop there. Next we're looking at stand out baits from around the industry.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment Matt discussed in the video.
