How To Catch Bass Right Now, Even Though Its HOT!

It's HOT outside! 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, no matter how hot it gets!

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 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 we recommend in the video. We've even included our favorite colors for each bait, as well as some of the rod and reel combos we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Top 5 Baits For Pond Fishing!

Are you a pond fisherman? Do you walk the bank, fish from a kayak, or tin boat? If you fish small waters there are a few key baits that you need to know how to use. You can carry whole tackle boxes but at the end of the day, one of these 5 baits is how you'll catch most of your fish!

If you've spent any time fishing ponds you know they're just as diverse as larger lakes. Some are shallow, others are deep. Some have clear water while others are muddy. Despite all these differences, there are key baits that work in nearly every pond, every time. These are the baits we trust when we're showing up to a new pond and need to see what kind of fish live there.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits (in the order they were discussed). We've included our favorite colors and sizes for each, along with some great budget-friendly rods and reels you can use to fish these baits effectively.
