Finding The BIG Bass In Summer - Exploring A New Lake!
Sometimes a plan comes together, sometimes it falls apart! Watch as the guys explore a new lake with great intentions but its not until their plan crumbles that they find the pattern for catching BIG bass! Pay attention as the guys analyze what they're seeing, make adjustments on a new fishery, and catch two great big bass on a very hot Summer day!
What started out as a day of exploring offshore structure quickly turned into a backwater slugfest! The guys found fish willing to eat topwater and reaction baits in dead end sloughs and coves. Once they figured out the pattern, it only took a few minutes for the first big bass to hit the deck. New lakes can be challenging under the best conditions but if you go in with a plan, keep an open mind, and adapt to changing conditions, you can catch fish just like this on a brand new lake.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys we're using. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each, as well as some of the rod and reel combos they were fishing with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
