3 Tricks To Catch Bass In Late Summer!
Late Summer is a challenging time for most bass fisherman, but not anymore! Today we have 3 tricks that are going to help you catch more fish. We travel the country year round and have stumbled on a few patterns along the way that help us get bit when nothing else is working. If you're ready to catch more bass, this is for you!
If you want to catch more fish right now, try these 3 tricks...
1) Begin focusing your attention on bass that are targeting smaller baitfish. You can do this by changing the size of your baits, as well as the locations you're fishing.
2) Focus on lively grass. As grass begins to die back, bass will abandon dying grass, but will stay in the lively sections. You can visually see this grass, but you can also listen for activity in grass that is topped out.
3) Go night fishing. This simple concept allows you to avoid the heat and target active fish, but it has its own list of subtle tricks. Don't miss Matt's recommendations about moon phase to increase your success rate.
Below you'll find links to all the baits Matt discussed in the video. We've also included links to some of our favorite rod and reel combos, as well as some great budget options for these key techniques. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
