Tricks For Targeting Offshore Bass In Early Summer!

We're about to catch a GIANT Bass while fishing offshore! After the spawn a lot of bass move to offshore structures for the Summer. Targeting these fish can be overwhelming if you've never seen how to do it. We're here to teach you how they position, why they're there, and what to use to catch them. It may be difficult to fish without the visual cues at first, but we'll show you how to do it!

Many anglers prefer the comfort of fishing near shore. And while we don't blame them, we highly recommend you spend a little time away from the bank this year. There are a lot of giant bass to be caught, and you can do it with several very simple lures and presentations. Today Matt catches the majority of his fish on a shakey head worm, but the GIANT commits to the wobble head creature bait. It's really common to catch your kicker for the day this way, and highlights why we use swinging jig heads for Summer bass!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Matt used throughout the day. We've included the exact rods and reels as well, along with specifics on head sizes, worm colors, etc. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

This Shallow Water Trick Catches GIANT Bass! (2 Bass For Over 20 lbs!!!) 😎

We're heading shallow! Come along as we search the shallows for bass that are making early moves toward the prespawn. SPOILER ALERT: IT WORKS!!! You're about to witness a beat down as we catch bass after bass, up to 11 lbs!!! This time of year can produce giants if you're willing to pursue them!

So many anglers forget to adapt with the seasons. We're constantly pushing the envelope and searching for fish that are moving ahead of the norm. In this case, it involved moving shallow despite cool conditions. It payed off in a huge way! We started off catching big bass with squarebills and paddle tail swimbaits, then ended it with GIANT BASS on chatterbaits!
