Tricks For Hot July Bass Fishing!
Come along for a fun day on the water as we adapt to high sun and hot temperatures! Watch closely as we run different patterns midday and into the evening as we adapt to changing conditions. It's easy to continue catching fish throughout the day if you use the sun to your advantage and make the right adjustments!
This time of year a lot of anglers go fishing in the early morning and then head for home before the pleasure boats arrive and midday temperatures rise. Unfortunately for them, midday and evening are both awesome times to catch fish! Watch how Tim's tactics shift as storms push through and evening arrives. What starts as slow moving deep water tactics, ends with topwater and reaction fishing!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the day. We've included Tim's combos, as well as the exacts hooks, colors, etc... for the lures he used throughout the day. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
