How To Find Offshore Bass In Summer! + Shore Fishing Tips!

Here's how we find bass in Summer! Whether you're a bank fisherman with no electronics, a shallow water fisherman with minimal equipment, or an offshore angler with all the latest bells and whistles, these are the tricks we use to find fish! If you've wondered how guys "fish offshore" in the Summer, this is it!

Fishing away from the bank is all about understanding your electronics. Whether you have a basic 2D sonar unit or an advanced unit with side imaging, 360, live, etc... you can find and catch these fish. The more options you have, the less time required to find fish, but you can do this with the smallest screens and basic 2D sonar if you're patient. 

Below you'll find links to the exact equipment Tim is using in the video. We've also included links to a handful of his favorite offshore lures. Keep an eye out for an in–depth video on the baits and gear we use for this style of fishing soon! All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
