Don't Make This HUGE Fishing Mistake This Summer!

Start catching more fish today! Everyone overlooks this sneaky spot and it's packed with fish! As we approach the middle of Summer, fish get harder to catch. If you're fishing the same techniques in the same places, you're probably starting to struggle. But there is something simple you can do to start catching fish again right now.

It's time to get away from the bank! Forget the shoreline you've been fishing all season and start focusing your attention on submerged vegetation and offshore color lines. Weed lines and weed edges are the easiest place to catch fish in your lake and almost no one is targeting them. The same can be said for the color line!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we use when targeting bass this time of year. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each lure to make it as simple as possible. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

These Fall Mistakes Are Costing You Fish! (And How To Change Them)

If you're making these mistakes, fishing will be tough!!! Thankfully, there are simple adjustments you can make to start catching fish again! The Fall bite should be really good, so if you're not catching good fish every trip, pay close attention to these tips!

So many anglers take the easy path. They fish the same baits, the same patterns, and they only do it on days with nice weather. While this plan can work in Spring, its a huge mistake in Fall. You need to be adapting and following the fish to set yourself up for success through the Winter months. Focusing your attention on baits that trigger a feed response, be willing to move with the fish during tough weather, and focusing on patterns that will last through the seasonal changes. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we use to adapt to changing conditions in Fall. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
