Summer Junk Fishing! (Tricks To Keep Catching Bass On Tough Days)
Jump in the boat with Matt for a fun day on Lake Chickamauga! It's hot and humid, but the bass are biting! Matt is junk fishing today, changing baits with every spot and dialing in patterns as he goes. If you've ever wondered how to cover water and catch fish along the way, this is how it's done!
Summer bass fishing can be really tough if you're not familiar with bass behavior, but this is one of Matt's favorite times of year. The Summer heat groups the bass together, creating opportunities to fire up schools of fish with fun techniques. From topwater, to urchins, to offshore ledge fishing, this is what Summer Bassin is all about!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the colors, hook upgrades, as well as the rod and reel combos he 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.
