Three techniques are go to’s when it comes to picking apart heavy cover and locating summer bass. Flipping, Pitching, and Punching! Tactical Bassin’ educate on the best way to use all three and when and where to use these methods to catch more fish.
Jig fishing is one of Tactical Bassin’s favorite ways to target enormous bass. Summer Jig Fishing has its own little quirks and secrets that only an enormous amount of time on the water would teach you… unless you have Matt Allen to break it down for you. Check out these three quick tips for Fishing Jigs in the Summer!
Matt worked a MONSTER BEDFISH for over 8 hours before finally hooking her! When she finally bit she ended up tangled in the anchor... listen to the story for all the crazy details!
If working the fish for over 8 hours wasn't enough, he didn't even know when he got bit! Somehow after all of that, the monster bass found its way to the boat. Matt may be an effective angler today but he learned by making all the mistakes. Just remember, when it feels like nothing is going right, your next monster bass might be just around the corner!
