Don't Make These Late Summer Fishing Mistakes!

Mistakes happen, but these three can wreck your fishing! If you want to catch more fish as we enter the Summer to Fall transition, you need to avoid these mistakes at all costs! If you don't want to struggle this Fall, we can show you what to watch out for, and how to turn this into one of your favorite times of year!

Late Summer can be a difficult time to fish. Most anglers react by slowing down and fishing places where they've been successful in the past. While that seems wise on the surface, it's the worst decision you can make! Instead, focus your time on new patterns, covering water, and fishing quickly. To be even more successful, focus your attention on the extremes of lure size by focusing on small presentations or big swimbaits.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits we use this time of year. We've even included some great budget rod and reel combos to help you fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
