How To Catch Bass When Its HOT! ( Baits, Spots, Tricks )
Don't let the HEAT Get you down! Hot weather is great for bass fishing if you know how to adapt. Hot temperatures put bass in predictable locations and today 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, no matter how hot it gets!
Whether you prefer fishing shallow or deep, Summer heat will help you catch more fish. Shallow fish move into shadows (we'll explain this in the video) and deep fish group in likely locations. We target them during periods of high sun using key baits, and in the dark with traditional offerings. Summer fishing is easy once you apply this approach!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment we recommend in the video. We've even included our favorite colors for each bait, as well as some of the rod and reel combos we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
