Topwater Baits And Finesse Tricks For The Early Summer Transition!

Come along for an awesome afternoon on the water! Fish are in transition along the Tennessee River and we're going to catch them! Tim employs some of his best confidence baits to catch the tail end of the post spawn transition and the beginning of the Early Summer bite! 

When fish are in transition the bite can get tough. This is when a lot of anglers turn to "junk fishing" with 10 or 15 combos on the deck. We don't take it that far, but we do have some key confidence baits for this time of year. Watch as Tim picks up the right bait for each situation, moving between topwater, subsurface reaction, and finesse presentations. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the video. We've included the exact colors and components for each presentation. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fishing Isolated Grass For Post Spawn Bass ( Florida Bass Fishing )

After the spawn a lot of anglers lose track of the bass. Here's what you need to know! Some fish stay shallow around cover to recuperate from the spawn while others go out to deep water. The fish heading to deep water typically don't go far, back out to the first break or first piece of offshore cover. Come along for a day on the water as we target these fish!

Bass typically spend several weeks recovering from the spawn before continuing on to their Summer haunts. Tim and JD landed perfectly in this window in Central Florida and were able to target those fish effectively with a variety of baits. From chatterbaits to drop shots, they probed offshore isolated grass in search of big bass on a new fishery. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the day as they explored the fishery. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each, along with some of key rods they relied on to get their fish in the boat. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
