Dropshot Fishing For Summer Bass! (Swimbait And Topwater Bites Too)

Come along for an awesome Summer day on the water! We're catching fish on swimbaits and topwater, but the real fish catcher today is the dropshot. When finesse is what the fish want, you hunker down and catch them with it! Watch Tim and Wes adapt to changing conditions and dial in an awesome pattern!

Some of the fish are active and willing to chase, but many are holding tight to cover. Once we realize these fish don't want to leave the comfort of their grass beds, we really start to catch them! The Dropshot is a very effective technique, especially when adapted for fishing around cover. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the video. We've even included the exact colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Summer Bass Fishing: Where Bass Go And How To Catch Them!

Summer fishing is amazing when you know where to go! As temperatures rise, bass follow very predictable patterns. Once you know where to find them, its easy to catch fish! Even when Summer temperatures are at their highest, bass behavior can be predicted and you can keep catching fish despite the heat. Quit struggling this Summer and start catching fish! 

If you don't know where to look, Summer fishing seems like a lost cause. The bass have separated into two distinct schools and they're not in any of your favorite fishing holes. The first goes shallow into cover and the second heads out to main lake structures. The shallow fish are fun because you can target them with a variety of power fishing techniques. The fish on outside structures group up around current when available and hard bottom when the water is calm. These fish can be caught on a variety of lures and tend to feed in aggressive "bite windows". 

Below you'll find links to our "Top Baits For June" video, as well as the key baits we discussed in the video. We've also included details on size and color for each lure, as well as some great budget-friendly rod and reel combos for fishing these baits affectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.
