Summer SWIMBAIT And JIG Fishing! We're Getting Bit EVERY Cast! 🔥🔥

The bite is on fire!! Bass are schooled up on Summer spots and they're chewing! Come along for an awesome afternoon as Matt smashes fish with swimbaits, jigs, and underspins! 

When we talk about getting out when its hot, this is the kind of bite we're looking for! Summer bass can be very aggressive when they're in schools. The key is knowing where to look for these groups of fish, and what baits to throw at them. These particular fish were targeting Threadfin Shad and the bite was on!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each lure, as well as the key rods that helped get these fish in the boat.

How To Find Offshore Bass In Summer! + Shore Fishing Tips!

Here's how we find bass in Summer! Whether you're a bank fisherman with no electronics, a shallow water fisherman with minimal equipment, or an offshore angler with all the latest bells and whistles, these are the tricks we use to find fish! If you've wondered how guys "fish offshore" in the Summer, this is it!

Fishing away from the bank is all about understanding your electronics. Whether you have a basic 2D sonar unit or an advanced unit with side imaging, 360, live, etc... you can find and catch these fish. The more options you have, the less time required to find fish, but you can do this with the smallest screens and basic 2D sonar if you're patient. 

Below you'll find links to the exact equipment Tim is using in the video. We've also included links to a handful of his favorite offshore lures. Keep an eye out for an in–depth video on the baits and gear we use for this style of fishing soon! All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

How To Catch Bass When Its HOT!

It's HOT outside! But that's good news for bass fishing! Hot temperatures put bass in predictable locations and we're going to show you how to target them! With just a few simple baits you can catch fish all through the heat of Summer!

Whether you prefer fishing shallow or offshore, Summer heat will help you catch more fish. Shallow fish move into shadows (we'll explain this in–depth in the video) and deep fish make room to let the giants feed. We target them during periods of high sun using large profile baits in likely locations. Summer fishing is easy once you apply this approach!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and equipment recommended in the video. We've even included our favorite colors for each bait. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Shakey Head Worms - Tricks To Catch More Fish!! ( Underwater Footage!! )

The shaky head worm is an awesome technique for Summer Bass! The technique catches BIG fish but it catches a lot of fish too! Most anglers have a few heads and a favorite worm or two but never realize just how effective this technique can be. When you start to understand the differences between worms, head designs, and hooks, you'll immediately start catching more fish!

Whether you throw a shaky head every trip, or just occasionally pick up a plastic worm, this video is going to help you hone your fishing skills. Subtle differences in plastic composition and worm shape make huge differences in the actions of the worms and how bass react to them. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video, along with the different heads and gear we use to fish these baits effectively. We've also included our favorite colors and sizes for each worm. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
