Top 5 Baits For June Bass Fishing!
June is amazing! There are TWO groups of bass now and you need to approach them differently! June brings a huge shift in bass behavior as some fish turn back toward the shallows and others go out to deep water. If you want to catch fish in June you need to understand the differences between the groups and which baits to target them with.
We dug through our tackle and came up with the top 5 (okay, maybe its more like 10) baits that really shine this time of year. When fishing shallow we focus on topwater and Texas rigs but when we go deep its a completely different list. Pay close attention to when Tim relies on each style of lure so you're not throwing them at the wrong group of fish. June is amazing as fish group back up, much like the prespawn, and you can catch a lot of them in a short amount of time if you know what to use.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each, as well as some of the gear we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
