3 Topwater Tricks For Late Summer Bass Fishing!
The dog days of Summer have arrived! Catching bass on topwater is really simple, but there are some tricks! It doesn't matter if you fish reservoirs, swamps, or ponds, here are 3 tips that will simplify your topwater fishing this Summer.
The second half of Summer requires more attention to detail. The bass have seen a lot of baits the past few months and standing out from the crowd will become more important as each day passes. We recommend fishing the extremes. Focus on baits that are significantly larger, and significantly smaller than the "normal" offerings. Additionally, targeting fish during low light periods with fast moving baits and high sun periods with subtle presentations will increase your odds.
Below you'll find links to our favorite baits for each topwater category. We've included our favorite colors for each, as well as the equipment we use to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
