Top 5 Baits For May Bass Fishing!

Bass fishing in May can be amazing, here's what you need to know! The bass are in transition and we're going to show you how to catch them. Most lakes have bass in every phase of the spawn by now. There are still lingering spawners but there are also a lot of post spawn fish. Some fish go deep while others stay around shallow cover. No matter how you like to fish, we've got tips to help you do it better!

There are a lot of great baits for targeting fish during the post spawn to early Summer transition, but we have some very clear favorites. Whether you're going deep or shallow, these are baits you can rely on to catch fish throughout the entire transition. And don't forget that early in the month the shad spawn is a major deal!

Below you'll find links to the baits discussed in the video. We've listed them in the order they appeared and included our favorite sizes and colors for each. We've also included a couple budget combos to help you consistently land the fish that bite. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Top 5 Baits For December Bass Fishing!

December is cold but the bass are BIG! If you're ready to catch a giant bass, it's time to go fishing! We typically catch less fish in December but the bites you do get are bigger and you'll have a shot at the fish of a lifetime! Here are the baits we rely on to get bit during the cold month of December...

There are two very different approaches to bass fishing in December. Many anglers turn to finesse presentations and slow retrieves to catch lethargic bass. This can be very effective but it's also monotonous. This Winter, try focusing on baits that get reaction strikes, despite the cold, and you'll be surprised by the results. No matter what you choose, December gives you a great opportunity to catch a giant bass!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, in the exact colors and sizes that we trust to catch these fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've also included several of the key rod and reel combos we use to consistently catch fish with these presentations.
