3 Overlooked Summer Patterns To Catch Bigger Bass!
Summer is in full swing and predicting bass locations is tough for many anglers. Jump in the boat with Tim and see how easy it can be! He's exploring a new lake and it doesn't take long to locate fish, despite the Summer heat. He quickly dials in 3 distinct patterns, and catches Largemouth and Smallmouth with ease.
Don't let Summer get you down. The fishing is amazing if you cover water and locate groups of fish. It would have been easy for Tim to stop exploring after locating the shallow Karashi bite, or the topwater bite, but he carried on and ultimately unlocked the big Smallmouth pattern as well. This is Summer fishing at its best!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Tim used throughout the day. We've included the exact colors for the baits, as well as the rod and reel combos Tim used to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
