How To Catch Bass When Its HOT!

It's HOT outside! But 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!

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–depth 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 recommended in the video. We've even included our favorite colors for each bait. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Shakey Head Worms - Tricks To Catch More Fish!! ( Underwater Footage!! )

The shaky head worm is an awesome technique for Summer Bass! The technique catches BIG fish but it catches a lot of fish too! Most anglers have a few heads and a favorite worm or two but never realize just how effective this technique can be. When you start to understand the differences between worms, head designs, and hooks, you'll immediately start catching more fish!

Whether you throw a shaky head every trip, or just occasionally pick up a plastic worm, this video is going to help you hone your fishing skills. Subtle differences in plastic composition and worm shape make huge differences in the actions of the worms and how bass react to them. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video, along with the different heads and gear we use to fish these baits effectively. We've also included our favorite colors and sizes for each worm. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Targeting BIG Bass In Offshore Grass! ( Topwater Bite Is On Fire 🔥)

Come along for some insane topwater fishing!! Matt dropped his aluminum boat into a new lake and is going exploring. It only takes a few minutes to locate fish hunting along offshore grass lines. Its been a long time since we've been on a wide open topwater bite like this!

Some days it feels like you make all the right decisions. From where the fish were positioning to the baits they were eating, this lake fit right into Matt's style of fishing. The Giant Dog X and the Magdraft made a great pair on the grass lines but Matt still took the time to explore other options and further dial in the bite. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, colors, and rod and reel combos Matt used throughout the morning. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

The Best Baits For Summer Pond Fishing! ( And Bank Fishing )

These are the baits we use to overcome shore fishing's unique challenges! We grew up walking creeks, ponds, and lakes in search of bass. Along the way we've developed a pretty solid strategy to catch those fish without spending a fortune and getting frustrated. Here is what we use and how we apply it to pond fishing to catch more fish!

Whether you're a pond fisherman, a bank fisherman, or you boat on shallow bodies of water, this information will help you succeed this Summer. The key to successful pond fishing is having a mix of reaction and finesse presentations. Its an added bonus if you're able to do it with inexpensive baits as well because when you're limited to shore, some break offs are bound to happen. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear discussed in the video. We've also included some great "bang for the buck" rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
