How To Catch Bass In The Heat! ( Its Easy! )

Quit struggling when its hot! Bass become really predictable on hot days. If you know where to look and what to throw, catching fish is no problem... even in the hottest weather! If you're going to go to the lake and sweat, you might as well learn the right places to fish. Pay close attention as Tim points out key cover elements and demonstrates the baits he uses to pick them apart. 

Many anglers give up on fishing during the day during the heat of Summer. They switch to night fishing or just give up all together. However, there are a few anglers that understand what a huge help the heat can be to fish positioning and predictability. The hotter it gets, the easier it is to catch the bass! When the peak of Summer heat arrives, shallow bass position under the thickest pieces of overhead cover. If you're looking down an entire bank of shallow cover you can instantly see the 2 or 3 spots where the largest fish will sit. 

With the guess work removed from the equation, all you need are a handful of reliable baits to catch the fish. Below you'll find links to our favorite flipping baits, frogs, and swim jigs. We've included the best sizes, our favorite colors, as well as the gear we use to fish them effectively.
